Leading property law firm raising money for suicide prevention charity

Leading property law firm Property Management Legal Services Limited is to donating £5 to national suicide prevention charity PAPYRUS for each new instruction received during the month of July.

 

Suicide is the biggest killer of young people – male and female – under 35 in the UK. The charity, based in Warrington, aims to reduce the number of young people who take their own lives by shattering the stigma around suicide and equipping young people and their communities with the skills to recognise and respond to suicidal behaviour.

 

A key part of the work PAPYRUS does is via HOPELINEUK, a confidential call, text, and email helpline for young people with thoughts of suicide or those concerned about a friend or relation who may be having suicidal thoughts.  Every £5 raised can help pay for a potentially life-saving contact to HOPELINEUK from a young person wanting to stay safe or keep a loved one safe.  

 

“The charity is really close to our hearts as one of our team lost her best friend to suicide in December,” says solicitor and CEO Cassandra Zanelli.

 

The firm has been running the campaign on its website throughout July and hopes not only to raise money for the charity but also to raise awareness of the vital work it is doing with young people around the country.
