Other ways to make a difference

Donate to CALM & help support our life-saving helpline

Donate to CALM and help us be there for whoever needs us, no matter what. Your support will help raise awareness, tackle mental health stigma, and save lives.

Fundraise in memory

If you’ve lost someone to suicide, doing something in their memory can be a great way to get together and remember them. From running a marathon, to putting on a gig in their honour, do what works for you.

Fundraising faqs

CALM currently spends 80% of its expenditure on delivering our services: that’s answering calls and webchats on our helpline; working with communities across the country; and campaigning for better awareness and understanding of suicide and its devastating impact. Everything else is spent on keeping the charity running and fundraising to ensure we can help the hundreds of thousands of people who need our support every year.

At the moment, the bulk of our funding comes from our amazing supporters – you! We receive a small but hopefully growing proportion of our income from trusts, foundations, local authorities and corporates.
