2019 GSK IMPACT Awards: Grassroots Suicide Prevention

  • Monday 13 May 2019

One person in 15 will attempt suicide in their lifetime and it is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK. Grassroots is a leading national charity in suicide prevention. It provides the skills and confidence to save lives through a range of services, including its mobile app ‘Stay Alive’, training courses, and awareness raising campaigns.

'We were impressed with its forward-thinking ambition and reach. Through the development of a digital app and its imaginative campaigns to address the stigma of suicide, this community-based approach to suicide prevention offers an important and innovative response to this critical issue.'
