Help turn despair into hope
Right now, someone is searching for ways to self-harm or take their own life. With your support, we can pause their search and guide them towards help.
Why people give
For many, it’s personal.
Most people don't find Ripple Suicide Prevention by accident. They arrive carrying something - a loss they didn't see coming, a moment they can't stop replaying, a person they wish they could have reached in time.
They know what it is to lose someone to suicide. Or to have been that person - searching, struggling, not knowing where to turn.
We can't change what happened. But we can do our best to prevent it happening to others.
That's what your support does.
Together,
we can save lives.

Why Ripple was started
Our story
“Ripple Suicide Prevention exists to prevent other families from experiencing the heartbreak of losing a loved one to suicide. Our work is only possible because of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Alice Hendy MBE /
Josh’s sister
“Your generosity and kindness are what keeps us going every day. For everything you do to support our charity, we cannot thank you enough.”
Ian Hendy /
Josh’s father
“I’ve been doing 24-hour gaming streams for Ripple for three years now - not just because it’s a great cause, but because it’s something I’ve lived through myself. I know firsthand the ripple effect suicide has on friends and family of victims, so anything I can do to prevent that pain for others is worthwhile.”
Sean Green (Cena Wow)
“I previously struggled with my mental health and know many others who have too or are going through difficult times. Sharing the Ripple tool may help people who are struggling.
I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie and had always wanted to do a skydive – I thought why not raise some money and awareness for charity as well!”
Jenna
"The Great South Run was an incredible challenge and I loved every minute of being part of it. Representing Ripple and seeing so many runners wearing the charity’s colours was truly inspiring. I’ve supported Ripple for four years now and it’s amazing to see how far the charity and its community have come - but there’s still a long way to go. Ripple’s work in the online space is saving lives every day, and your support can help it reach even further."
Harrison Read
"In 2023, a friend of mine took his life. He’d spent almost a year viewing harmful content online. Our Life Jacket initiative seeks to start conversations about suicide and suicide prevention in new ways, and through it promotes Ripple life-saving interceptive tool."
