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.

Chestnut Tree House is the children’s hospice for Sussex and South East Hampshire. Thanks to support from the local community, children and families who know they don’t have long together have the chance to live life to the full and say goodbye in the way that is right for them. The generosity of the local community makes this happen. Almost £6 million is needed every year to provide hospice care for local children and their families. Very little of this comes from the government. The rest comes from the amazing donations we receive, fundraising, gifts in wills, shops, the Chestnut Tree House lottery and volunteering.

St Barnabas House is the hospice for the Worthing, Adur, Arun and Henfield areas. Thanks to support from the local community, adults with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones can enjoy life as fully as possible, for the time they have left together. We care passionately about the difference we can make, and always place patients at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to provide dignity and comfort for adults who need our specialised, supportive care.
