Let's win the fight for mental health
Our thumbs are on the march - responding to those who have reached out for vital mental health support, 24/7.
But being there day and night takes funding, and we can't keep our service running without the help of people like you.
Join our next virtual fundraising challenge
Raise vital funds for Shout by taking on the Run 30 Miles in September challenge and asking friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you.
Could you volunteer for Shout?
Shout Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. They're often the first person our texters have ever spoken to about how they are feeling.
As a volunteer, you work to take someone in distress to a calmer place. In return, you get 25 hours of free mental health communication training and ongoing coaching.
Times are tough, but so are you
Remind yourself and others with our certified organic cotton merchandise, as worn by Scarlett Curtis and Shout Volunteer Alexis Caught. Every purchase helps to support Shout.
