If you’re struggling right now
We support people facing the end of life and promote choice at that time; we don’t provide information about methods of ending life. If you need someone to talk to now, Samaritans are on 116 123, free, day or night, and Breathing Space is on 0800 83 85 87. For questions about your own care, your GP or palliative care team is the right first call.
