Suicide is the biggest killer of young people in the UK. 

The national charity PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide believes many of those suicides are preventable. 

The charity aims to reduce the number of young people who take their own lives by breaking down the stigma around suicide and equipping people with the skills to recognise and respond to suicidal behaviour. 

PAPYRUS offers a confidential helpline service – HOPELINE 247 – providing professional advice and support to young people and anyone who is concerned about a young person who may be having thoughts of suicide. The charity also provides suicide prevention projects in local communities across the UK, supports a network of volunteers and helps to deliver training to groups and individuals.
