We appreciate every £1 that is donated to us as it allows us to fund our missions of preventing suicide;

“It has never been a priority at SAPUK to gain funds, that is why you have never seen us asking for them, our services grew to what they are without financial support but then we quickly saw ourselves quite restricted, so in 2022 we started to receive donations, and our services grew”

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

As many who have worked with us and overcoming their mental health understand that our services are unique, we hold people here with no time limit, our services though do only go so far our long term projection is to get a stable base for us so our individuals are able to go to.

What also needs to be understood is that each service is unique and what we offer another may not, what another may offer we may not, it is really finding what support works for you

but why donate to us?

Where do we as a CIC, CIO to be direct our funds.

Preventing suicide, all of our members are volunteers and will carry on as this until it is no longer able. Our services cost us but are free for anyone to use, it is an extremely supportive service seeing many of our individuals progress to a better mental health with guided support and direction, we are that gap between a person knowing they need help to getting the physical help, which can be up to a 6 week wait. We work with services;

How do we benefit you directly? We work with individuals and volunteers across England, Scotland & Wales, and occasionally overseas, by us doing this and enlightening each individual we create ripples and alike other services deter further impact from the loss of suicide within the community; You may not see us within your communities, but we are either there or have been there previously supporting someone;

Most of our volunteers hold much experience already for preventing suicide and creating awareness, hence why they volunteer with us, some having trained and been within the grounds of education such as being Psychology students.

This role is an extensive role and requires much patience and understanding, it is not a role that anyone can do which is why it is important that SAPUK does not have any financial restrictions as we support many individuals with suicidal tendencies.
