About us
Who we are
Every person at Papyrus, from our trustees to our HopeLine 24/7 advisers, our trainers to our fundraisers, is here for the same reason. Because they believe that young suicide can be prevented. And because they’re willing to do something about it.
Our Mission
To prevent suicide with urgent support, education, campaigns and conversations that keep young people safe – and hope alive.
Our vision
More young lives lived. Fewer ended.
Our culture and values
Every call, every conversation, every act of kindness helps prevent suicide. Together, we’re building suicide-safer communities across the UK.
Collaboration
We recognise that other people have much to contribute to what we do. We work with each other to deliver the best outcomes.
Curiosity
We adapt to uncertainty, find creative solutions and develop trusting relationships.
Integrity
We are honest, do the right thing and fulfil our commitments.
Respect
We value all our people and our environments, and take responsibility for our actions, communication, behaviours and attitudes.
