#4Tom was set up after the death of our son in March 2019; Tom was 22 and took his own life through suicide. His death deeply shocked our family and the local community, raising questions about the complexities of mental health in young people – particularly as Tom presented as a happy young man who was popular, funny, handsome and with a family who loved him dearly.
We decided to set up a charity in Tom’s memory to help other young people suffering from anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and substance misuse causing mental health issues. We aim to raise awareness of mental health issues caused by substance misuse, particularly cocaine, to reduce the stigma and encourage open conversations.
We arrange free suicide intervention training workshops.
We can arrange and fund 1-1 counselling for anyone experiencing suicidal thoughts, ideation or have made attempts.
We educate communities on the issues surrounding suicide via a myriad of information outlets such as leaflets, social media, short films, podcasts and signposting.
We provide advice, run support groups and provide counselling for anyone bereaved by suicide.
