We're the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), a suicide prevention charity. Our mission is to help people end their misery, not their lives. 1 in 4 people have experienced suicidal thoughts in the UK. We’re here to help anyone struggling with life - and provide everyone with the skills to help prevent suicide. We’ve got loads of tools and resources to help people find the support they need, including a life-saving helpline for people who can’t see a way forward, as well as vital online resources for anyone who needs them. We also run vital campaigns to increase awareness, smash stereotypes, and change the culture around mental health and suicide. Stopping suicide starts with all of us. Find out how you can play your part. Get in touch

We’ve been working on something exciting behind the scenes… 👀🎙️ I’m so proud to finally share my podcast Question The Default Podcast will officially launch on 22nd October 🚀 Hosted by me, this show brings together so many things I care deeply about – real conversations, honest stories, and questioning the “default” ways of thinking that shape our lives. Each episode dives into some of the biggest issues we face today, whilst offering an insight into the future – from mental health, masculinity, and addiction, to how AI is influencing our wellbeing and the way we live. I’m joined by incredible guests from TV, sport, politics and academia, bringing raw honesty and expert insight to the table. And what makes this even more meaningful is that it’s in support of Campaign Against Living Miserably – a charity I’m proud to be an ambassador for and one that changed everything for me 💛 If I could ask one thing, it would be this: 👉 Please follow Question The Default on YouTube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts – and join us as we start questioning the default together. https://lnkd.in/eXR4TccA Thank you to everyone who has made this possible. So much hard work has gone into this. Elevo | Acast | Campaign Against Living Miserably #QuestionTheDefault #CALM #NewPodcast

We are proud to announce that we have been shortlisted for the ‘Merchant Impact Award’ in the Pennies Awards 2025 ! 🎉 This year we successfully rolled out the Pennies microdonation facility across our stores to enable customers to make a small donation at the checkout to support our charity partner, Campaign Against Living Miserably which went towards raising over £1.4 million in our 2-year lead partnership. With suicide being one of the greatest public health challenges of our time, we would like to thank those colleagues at HQ who were involved in the project, our store colleagues and amazing customers who worked together to make it happen - while raising awareness of youth suicide and helping smash the stigma, by empowering young people to have life-saving conversations. We can’t wait for the awards ceremony on November 12th, keep your fingers crossed!

It’s about celebrating what gets you through - creating a powerful, positive, unstoppable force that shows everyone that when everything feels dark, we’ll find the light. Let’s show people they’re not alone. That we’re for the tomorrows. For finding a way to get through. Join us and take a stand against suicide. 👉 Get involved and get the tee.

We're against living miserably. Are you with us?
Remembering Ricky Hatton: ‘The people’s champion’ Ricky Hatton joined CALM as an ambassador in 2023, and worked tirelessly for over a decade to share his story and help as many people as possible. Ricky was a true fighter in and outside of the ring. He fought to make mental health support available to everyone and made having life-saving conversations easier for untold numbers of people. We know from our helpline feedback that his story helped many people to get vital support. We worked extensively with Ricky to raise awareness of suicide, and this involved sharing his story. Ricky was passionate about raising awareness so others could find the help they needed. He did everything in his power so others wouldn’t have to go through the experiences he did. In his first interview with CALM, Ricky said that he believed his job was to help people. He said: “Bad times won’t last forever - you think they will, but they won’t if you go and speak to someone. No one should ever be scared to admit they need help. I promise you, it’s the best thing you’ll ever do”. If you’re struggling now, or with the news of Ricky’s death, remember help is available. There is always a reason to Stay. You can find more information and support on our website https://lnkd.in/eqzEQv_N Finally, we want to take a moment to thank Ricky for the work he did, the impact he made, and the legacy he has created. May he rest in peace. Take care, The entire CALM team.
