💙32% of us will know of someone who has died by su***de *
🩵25% of us will know of someone who has attempted su***de *
💙55% of us have been affected by su***de *
You are therefore likely to know someone who is struggling.
💙 They matter.
🩵Every hour. Every day. Every life. Su***de rates in Wales and England are collectively at their highest in over 20 years.
💙Men continue to account for three quarters of the overall rate with a strong link between su***de and poverty.
That's why I am supporting Samaritans Cymru and HelpuCymru this month and all the proceeds for the last somatic class on Monday will go to Samaritans. So a massive DIOLCH to all who came, it was a good turn-out! Thank you also to those who donated but never came, and especially to those who donated once again, despite having their own problems. You are amazing!
If you'd like to help, it's not too late to donate! The Just Giving page will remain open for another few weeks. Please donate anything you can afford, every penny will go towards the Bangor branch of Samaritans Cymru who are the main base for North Wales and you can leave an anonymous name. Here's the link: https://www.justgiving.com/page/fiona-jones-1761926018796?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL
💙Samaritans is the charity that prevents su***de through the power of human connection.
🩵Connecting people in crisis with trained volunteers who will always listen.
💙People calling for change with those who need to listen.
🩵People who've been there before with those struggling now.
If you missed the class, there will be another on MONDAY 17th NOVEMBER at 19.30 (booking advised) and funds from this class will go to HelpuCymru a su***de prevention community interest company. Here is the link to my Just Giving page https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/fiona-jones-86?utm_medium=CR&utm_source=CL
