About us
Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is taking a stand against suicide. This means standing against feeling rubbish, standing up to stereotypes, and standing together to show life is always worth living.
125 lives are lost every week to suicide. Suicide is now the leading cause of death for people aged 15-39, and men under the age of 50 in the UK. CALM exists to change this.
CALM does it by provoking conversation, running life-saving services, and bringing people together so they reject living miserably, get help when they need it and don't die by suicide.
In 2023, CALM answered over 160,000 calls and webchats. That's more than 3 million minutes of talking to people who need them. This achievement has only been possible thanks to the generosity of CALM's extraordinary supporters.
It costs just £12.20 to fund a potentially life-saving call or webchat. Stand with CALM and help us save lives.
