This year at Missive, we’re proud charity partners of Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), and in supporting them, we’re taking a stand against suicide. We’ve set an ambitious goal to fundraise £10,000 by the end of 2024 for this incredible charity which is close to our hearts.  

Since kicking off our fundraising challenge, we’re delighted to have raised £3,788. 

So far, we’ve hiked mountains in the Alps, hosted quiz nights and raffles, ran races in Nottingham, Milton Keynes and London, among others. As a result, we’ve hit almost 38% of our target so far – and we want to say a huge thank you to all our supporters who have helped us get there!  

We have lots planned to bring our wider community together for events, and to cheer on some amazing individuals in more physical, non-physical, and mental challenges all over the UK – and we’d love you to join us for the ride. 

Your support is so important right now. Currently, suicide is the cause of 18 deaths in the UK every day. 75% of all suicides are male. CALM staff answer a call every 59 seconds – and in 2023, the charity spent over 3.2 million minutes having potentially life-saving conversations. 

Supporting CALM also means standing against feeling rubbish, standing up to stereotypes, and standing together to show life is always worth living. We’re therefore seizing  the opportunity to take on new and creative challenges that will make us stronger and more resilient.  

We’re just getting started – so stay tuned for more!
