Our mission is to help anyone fighting mental health problems. We believe no one should have to go through this kind of fight alone and in doing so we are keeping the memory of our Benny Boy alive.
We know that some people find it easier to speak to someone unknown to them as opposed to their family or friends. With this in mind, we are looking to source a venue within the East Durham Area and provide a friendly ear along with support and advice.
We are currently fundraising to help us achieve our goal. Any donations would be made in memory of our Benny Boy. We know that he would take some comfort from the knowledge that even in death he continues to help others. For the time being we are asking for donations via the following link:

Any donation, no matter the amount, will make all the difference with our mission to help others considering suicide.
Thank you
We will be setting this service up as soon as we can. Please be patient with us as this idea is in it's infancy.
We will update this page as and when developments occur so please keep clicking on our link.
We lost our beloved Ben suddenly and unexpectedly on the 26th January 2020 to suicide. He was 20 years old.
Ben was loved by so many, his family and a wide circle of close friends. He had so many people in his life whom he could trust and speak to about how he was feeling-and he did. We will never know why Ben felt he had no choice other
We lost our beloved Ben suddenly and unexpectedly on the 26th January 2020 to suicide. He was 20 years old.
Ben was loved by so many, his family and a wide circle of close friends. He had so many people in his life whom he could trust and speak to about how he was feeling-and he did. We will never know why Ben felt he had no choice other than to end his life that fateful night when he had so many people he could rely on to speak to at any hour, day or night.
We vowed, his family and friends that Ben would always be remembered and that our tragic loss would not be in vain.
Ben always said he wanted to be "famous", so with this in mind, we decided to pursue our mission in his name. A lasting legacy to our handsome, funny, stubborn and loyal Benny Boy.
Mental Health issues play a major contributing factor as to why so many of our loved one's believe that this is the only option available to them. It's not.
We would encourage everyone to take 10 minutes out of their busy lives to check in with their loved ones, family and friends.
We believe that this vital interaction can make all of the difference between someone choosing to end their life or not.

"A bright light in life, and now brighter in death".
