Double the donation, double the life-saving support for young people and those in mental health crisis: 3-10 December only
While many services close for Christmas, Shout, the only 24/7 text service, and The Mix, the UK’s leading digital support for young people, stay open. Anxiety, loneliness and suicidal thoughts don’t take a holiday - if anything, they can get worse at this time of year.
Over Christmas, nearly 30,000 people will text Shout for support with their mental health. In 40% of the conversations we take at Christmas, texters report having suicidal thoughts. 59% say they texted us because they have no one else to talk to.
By supporting us now, your donations will be doubled, meaning you’re helping to support a further 3,000 people this winter - support that could be life-saving.
How does the Big Give work?
- Make your Christmas donation to Shout and The Mix here or via a Big Give Donations Funds bank transfer
