Supporting Young People and Those Around Them.
One of the good causes that we passionately support is PAPYRUS, a young person’s suicide prevention charity. They run HopeLine 24/7, which is available 365 days a year, and supports not only young people who find themselves in crisis, but also the friends and relatives of those who have sadly taken their own lives.
They also offer training and support to give individuals the skills and confidence to help keep young people safe from suicide. The sad truth of the matter is that suicide is the leading cause of death in under 35s. 1-in-4 people have experienced suicidal thoughts and, in 2024 alone, 1,866 young people committed suicide.
In 2025, someone close to us was sadly lost to suicide, and it’s had a profound effect on how we look at young people, and how we support them in and out of our business. Not just listening, but also looking out for the signs, and then doing the right thing by offering whatever support is available and helping them through it.
