About CALM
Suicide is the biggest killer in men under 50. And the suicide rate for young women under 24 has seen the steepest increase since records began. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
We take a stand against suicide in the UK — loudly, boldly and with purpose.
We run a life-saving helpline and webchat service offering free, confidential support to anyone struggling or in crisis.
Our website is packed with tools, guides and resources to help people take action and find support.
We run powerful, award-winning campaigns to challenge stigma, spark conversations and shift attitudes around mental health and suicide. We use everything from sport, music and comedy to social media and street art to reach people in unexpected places — and get them talking.
From Project 84 to The Invisible Opponent and Missed Birthdays, our campaigns make headlines, drive awareness and change lives. Working with major brands and organisations, we’ve helped put suicide prevention on the national agenda, including the appointment of the UK’s first-ever Minister for Suicide Prevention.
CALM is powered by a passionate, creative and committed team. We fundraise, campaign, design, share stories, write code, organise events, build partnerships and everything in between — all united by a shared goal: standing together against suicide.
We believe in hope, humour and human connection. We support each other, champion individuality and work hard to make CALM a place where you can be yourself, grow and make a real difference.
Time commitment: c.1 day per month
