THE REALITY

In the UK, in one year:

7,147 people died by suicide

5,360 were men

That’s almost 15 men every day

75% of suicides are men

Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death for men under 50

These are not just numbers.

They are people. Families. Friends. Colleagues.

SO WHAT CAN WE DO?

We can start with something simple.

We can reach out.

We can check in.

We can make the call.

Because sometimes, one call, one message, one moment of connection
can mean more than we ever realise.

THE CHALLANGE

Part I

Starting Monday 15th June 2026 for 7 days - Each day:

15 sit-ups

15 push-ups

15 squats

Part II

And most importantly…
make the call

Call someone
Text someone
Send a message

A quick check-in
A simple “thinking of you”
A “how are you really?”

Whether you think they are struggling or not,
the call matters.
