Volunteer with Us
Our volunteers are the heart of everything we do. Whether you can spare a few hours a month or want to take on a bigger role, we would love to hear from you. No specific qualifications are needed — just a genuine desire to help your community.
What volunteers do:
- Help at community awareness events and information stalls
- Support our social media and community communications
- Help with fundraising activities and events
- Contribute professional skills (design, finance, legal, IT)
- Share our work within your own networks
Please note: Some volunteer roles require a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. We will support you through this process. Full training and induction is provided for all volunteers.
Make a Donation
We are a very small, entirely volunteer-led charity. Every single donation — no matter the size — goes directly into our work preventing suicide and supporting people in South Cumbria and North Lancashire. There are no overheads, no salaries, no offices.
Could help us print and distribute suicide prevention resources to local GP surgeries and community centres.
Could support a community awareness session, helping local people learn to recognise and respond to crisis.
Could help fund a training event, reaching dozens of community members with life-saving knowledge.
Gift Aid
If you are a UK taxpayer, we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate through Gift Aid — at no extra cost to you. When donating, please tick the Gift Aid box and confirm you are a UK taxpayer who has paid sufficient income or capital gains tax.
Gift Aid is only available on UK personal donations. It does not apply to fundraising events or corporate donations.
To make a donation, please contact us and we will provide our bank details securely:
We do not publish bank details online for security reasons. Email us and we will respond within 5 working days.

- Coffee morning — a classic and effective community fundraiser
- Workplace collection — talk to your HR team about a charity of the year partnership
- Birthday fundraiser — use JustGiving or Facebook fundraiser for your birthday
- Local event — quiz nights, raffles, bake sales — creativity is welcome!
Other Ways to Help

Partner with us as a business. Options include payroll giving, matched funding, skills volunteering, and cause-related marketing. We can provide talks, training and awareness events for your team.

One of the most powerful things you can do is tell people about us. Share our website, talk about suicide prevention openly and safely, and help reduce the stigma that prevents people from seeking help.
Always follow safe messaging guidelines when talking about suicide. Learn more.
