Grassroots Suicide Prevention

Who we are

Grassroots Suicide Prevention is an award-winning charity. Our mission is to empower people to help save lives from suicide through connecting, educating, and campaigning nationally. 

Our culture and values

In the UK, 115 people die by suicide every week. We are working to change that. We do know that suicides can be prevented with timely intervention and anyone can learn these life-saving skills. We can all reduce the stigma around suicide by campaigning for change and talking about it openly. 

We have lived experience of suicide. We know what it is like to be in crisis. We understand the pressure of trying to keep someone safe and the complex emotions including guilt, shock, and intense grief after a suicide. 

Compassion

Our caring and empathic approach underpins and informs everything we do.

Courage

We are brave, challenging and speak out fearlessly to create change to help save lives from suicide.

Collaboration

Our lived experience enables us to co-design and co-deliver our services to meet the needs of the people we work with.

Integrity

We are open and transparent with an inclusive and respectful culture which everyone can trust.

Innovation

We are creative problem solvers, forward thinkers, always striving for excellence.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

GSP is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community and workplace - a place where we can all be ourselves, and each have the equal opportunity to succeed and be recognised for our unique contribution. We value the experiences, skills and perspectives of all individuals and actively encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds. We make recruitment decisions based on applicants’ skills, experience, and knowledge, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly.
