Chairman, The Rose Paterson Trust

[Rose Paterson Trust @RPatersonTrust]

We are very proud to have shared the incredible work of 16 grantees.

Thank you to all our donors and supporters. We started believing that if we could save just one family the agony of suicide this initiative would be worth it. Our reports show the numbers are in the thousands.

For almost 30 years, PAPYRUS worked tirelessly to prevent young suicide and support those struggling with thoughts of suicide.

Their closure is a huge loss, but the need for this work has never been greater (2/3)

Yesterday marked World Suicide Prevention Day, in a week when we were deeply saddened to see PAPYRUS close its doors (1/3)

Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team are out on patrol rain, wind, hail or snow reaching people in their moment of need. An incredible team out there saving lives.

[Rose Paterson Trust @RPatersonTrust]

On the sixth anniversary of Rose’s tragic passing, we are proud to share our most recent results (see the Progress Report in our bio) and another £235,000 of grants raised for small frontline suicide prevention charities – we will be sharing their work over the next few days.

[Rose Paterson Trust @RPatersonTrust]

💚2025 marks five years since Rose’s death. In those years, we have carried her memory forward with immense pride, and turned our grief into hope for a kinder world.

Every project we fund, every conversation we support, and every life saved is part of her legacy 1/2
