South Swindon MP Sir Robert Buckland has named Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) as his latest Charity of the Week.

The charity takes a stand against suicide, and says this means standing against feeling hopeless, standing up to stereotypes and standing together to show life is always worth living.

Sir Robert said: "CALM has been shouting about suicide prevention since 1997 when their life-saving helpline launched. Originally set up as an NHS pilot, the helpline started in Merseyside. 

"CALM became a national charity in 2006, meaning they could support people who needed them across the country."

People can find out more about CALM at www.thecalmzone.net and make a donation at www.thecalmzone.net/donate

The charity can also be followed on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/theCALMzone, X at https://twitter.com/theCALMzone and Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/calmzone/
