FAQs

Suicide rates are the highest they’ve been since the 90s and are sadly continuing to rise. CALM is a UK suicide prevention charity working towards a world where nobody dies by suicide.

At a time when 1 in 4 people will experience suicidal thoughts, 1 in 13 will act on them, and someone dies by suicide every 90 minutes in the UK, the need for effective suicide prevention has never been greater.

CALM is here to change that. Through life-saving services, early intervention, public campaigns and community work, we support people experiencing suicidal thoughts and give others the tools and confidence to prevent suicide. Last year alone, our services reached more than 1 million people across the UK.

We’ll keep you updated on the impact of your support, sharing both the stories and data behind the difference you’re making. We can also recognise your support publicly, if you wish, and invite you to exclusive opportunities to learn more about our work.
