CALM is an innovative mental health and suicide prevention charity dedicated to tackling the tragic rate of suicide across the UK. Every 3 minutes in the UK, someone attempts to take their own life. And, every 90 minutes, someone will die by suicide. CALM exists to change this. And we do this in 2 ways: Our prevention work helps people live happier lives by connecting with others, talking about their problems, and understanding where to seek help. We do this through our online CALM Guides, which offer tons of practical support, building CALM communities where people feel they can open up, and through our groundbreaking and award-winning national campaigns that smash the stigma around suicide. And through our intervention work. Our life-saving helpline is available 365 days a year from 5 pm to midnight via phone, webchat and WhatsApp. The helpline offers people the chance to have a free and confidential conversation with an experienced and paid professional who is trained to listen, help them find hope, a reason to stay, and gain the tools they need to make positive, long-term changes. Critically, our helpline is saving lives every single day.

Did you know - one baby every 5 minutes is admitted to an intensive care ward. Bliss’ vision is that every baby born premature or sick in the UK has the best chance of survival and quality of life. Bliss champions the right for every baby born premature or sick to receive the best care. We achieve this by empowering families, influencing policy and practice, and enabling life-changing research. Help us to make a difference to the lives of premature and sick babies and their families. Whether you are looking to fundraise, volunteer, take part in an event, campaign, get your company to support us or make a donation, we are here to turn your inspiration into action.

The first ever Coffee Morning happened way back in 1990. It was a rather small affair with a simple idea: guests would gather over coffee and donate the cost of their cuppa to Macmillan in the process. It was so effective, we did it again the next year – only this time nationally. Since then, Coffee Morning has raised over £200 million for Macmillan. By 2020 almost 1 in 2 people will get cancer at some point in their lives, but you can help us be there for even more people affected by cancer. The fantastic fundraising efforts have enabled Macmillan to fund professional posts in local communities across the country from Macmillan Lung Clinical Nurse Specialists to Macmillan Welfare Benefits Advisors. These posts have a daily, direct impact on people affected by cancer and their families and would not exist without the support from M&S.
