Milestones

Provide funding for: - safe accessible spaces in every town where young people (16+) can talk openly - more access to free 1-to-1 mental health support - more group sessions and community check-ins so people can feel seen, heard, & supported - more mental health support in schools & colleges

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among young people in the UK. These are preventable deaths. Behind every statistic is a real person—a son, daughter, friend, sibling—who felt there was no way out. We need to act now to stop this. We think that waiting lists for therapy are too long. Youth centres are closing. And many families can’t afford private help. This can leave young people suffering in silence, with nowhere to turn.
