Brighton Half Marathon (Various Roles) at Grassroots Suicide Prevention

In the UK, 115 people die by suicide every week. We are working to change that.

We do know that suicides can be prevented with timely intervention and anyone can learn these life-saving skills. We can all reduce the stigma around suicide by campaigning for change and talking about it openly.

We empower people to help save lives from suicide through our training, Stay Alive app, suicide prevention hubs and campaigning.

What does the opportunity involve doing?

Grassroots Suicide Prevention is thrilled to invite passionate, friendly volunteers to help us bring the energy, support, and inspiration at the Brighton Half Marathon on Sunday 1st March 2026!
