Pauls super raffle
Fundraising for Grassroots Suicide Prevention
Story
- In 2017 there were 6,213 suicides in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
- Of these, 5,821 suicides were registered in the UK and 392 occurred in the Republic of Ireland.
- In the UK, men are three times as likely to take their own lives than women.
- In the Republic of Ireland, men are four times more likely to take their own lives than women.
- In the UK, the highest suicide rate was for men aged 45-49.
- In the Republic of Ireland, the highest suicide rate was for men aged 25–34 (with an almost identical rate for men aged 45–54).
Imagine those figures if some of these people, because they are people, not just numbers on a statistic, had actually been helped before they took that final choice.
Its topic close to my heart and I know Paul feels the same, I could have certainly been one of those numbers had I not sought help. Some people are not so lucky or spotted in time.
