Today, we shine a light on James’ Place, who help men in suicidal crisis find hope for the future. James’ Place offer free, life-saving treatment to suicidal men in London, the Northeast and the North West. They provide a safe, friendly, therapeutic environment in which men are cared for and respected.
This important charity was nominated for a donation by gbp develop, Senior Development Manager, Simon Parr. Below, Simon shares his experience and explains a bit more about his connection with the charity:
“One of my closest friends tragically took his own life and when I look back, I feel I could have talked with him more. James' Place have taught me a lot and following gbp's amazing support last year, the team have organised fundraising events across the northwest and the midlands. In addition, they have held drop-in sessions in community centres where they meet venerable young men. I can honestly tell you that it’s both really sad but so amazing to hear how by talking to these young men and sharing their issues is helping prevent future tragic events. The donation from gbp will be grateful received by the charity and help them to organise more community events in the future. gbp's support again this year would be amazing!!”
