Grassroots Suicide Prevention
| Get involved with the Milton Keynes Marathon Weekend 2023! Hi there, My name is Fern, I am the new Events Officer at Grassroots Suicide Prevention. I wanted to get in touch with some running clubs in the local area, as we have now partnered with the Milton Keynes Marathon Weekend 2023 and have charity places available (including the half, full and 10k) with no registration fee. We are a charity based in Sussex and have been working within Sussex communities for 20 years. We are well regarded locally as the experts in suicide prevention. Our award-winning Stay Alive app provides an abundance of resources for those at risk of suicide and people worried about someone else. In fact, 76% of at-risk users said our Stay Alive app helped them stay safe from suicide. We are in need of more supporters so that we can continue to grow nationally and keep more people safe who use our resources. We empower people to help save lives from suicide through connecting, educating, and campaigning locally. A community impacted by suicide and self-harm is not safe, we want to build a community where people feel confident to have conversations about suicide, are supported and by breaking down stigma and removing shame will build a more resilient community. If your group has any members that would be interested in signing up to run, please do forward this email. We are recruiting members for: Milton Keynes Marathon, Monday 1st May (Minimum Fundraising Target – £400) Milton Keynes Half Marathon, Monday 1st May (Minimum Fundraising Target – £300) Milton Keynes – Turing 10k, Sunday 30th April (Minimum Fundraising Target – £150) When you join Team Grassroots, you will get: Go ahead and challenge yourself to one of these incredible events.
