Help us provide urgent support this Christmas

Donate

Donate

This Christmas, nearly 30,000 people will text Shout for mental health support. In 40% of conversations, texters share suicidal thoughts, and 59% reach out because they don't have anyone else to speak to.

Your donations help to provide free, confidential help 24/7 to anyone in the UK who urgently needs it.

Just £10 can help someone in distress to access an hour of mental health support. £25 can fund a clinician to provide expert supervision of conversations on our digital mental health platform and £250 can train a new Shout Volunteer to take life-saving conversations.

Thank you so so much for taking the time out of your festive period to talk to people like me. You allowed me to share what was on my mind and let me feel a little lighter so that I could work on things myself.

Ways to support us

Gift Aid explained

Gift Aid is a simple way to increase the value of your gift to Shout at no extra cost to you. If you pay tax in the UK, we can reclaim the basic rate of tax you have paid on your gift, which increases the value of your donations by 25%. So if you donate £100, it's worth £125 to us.

All you need to do to make a Gift Aid declaration is to tick the Gift Aid box on the donation form when donating online. This confirms that as an individual taxpayer you want us, the charity, to receive the tax paid on your donation.

Other ways to donate

How your donations help

The funds you donate support every aspect of our service. A recent report, ‘Shout’s role in UK suicide prevention and the economic benefits’, found that in the first three years our service prevented at least 126 suicides and saved the UK economy £252m.

We couldn't do it without the support of people like you.
