Anyone can have suicidal thoughts. If you're feeling like you want to die, it's important to tell someone. Help and support is available right now if you need it. You do not have to struggle with difficult feelings alone.

💛🌍 Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

Sometimes it only takes a moment. A conversation, a cuppa, a listening ear. Here’s a poem written by BCHFT's David Stocks to remind us all to take five to save a life.

Take five,
It’s all it takes
To be that listening ear,
While you share a cuppa

Take five,
For life’s mistakes
For those filled with fear,
Like a pressure cooker

Take five,
A friendship makes
A friendly hand,
For your old mucker

Take five,
Anxieties brakes
Just to hear,
Those who suffer

Take five,
To make the shakes
Disappear,
From mental clutter

Take five,
When sadness breaks
Make it clear,
Your anxieties buffer

Take five,
For loneliness sakes
Hold them dear,
And be their shoulder

Take five,
In life’s high stakes
I ask everyone here
From young to older

Take five,
As the lost awakes
Bring them cheer,
For when it’s colder

Take five,
The difference it makes
By being sincere,
It’s a real life saver

Take five,
To save a life
Until the storm clouds clear,
You will always be there

🚨 The UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm.

Compatible mobile phones and tablets will receive an alert, make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. You will not need to take any action.

The system is used to warn if there’s a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather. Regular testing ensures that it is functioning correctly, should it need to be used in a life-threatening emergency.
