We advocate for change.
We are that change.
Why should we raise awareness?
Did you know?
For every 1 road traffic death we lose 3 people to Suicide.
For every 1 knife crime death we lose 22 people to Suicide.
We talk about knife crime and road safety openly (rightly so!) but why don't we do the same for Suicide?
We need to talk about Suicide more openly, so we can understand it, break the stigma surrounding it and save more lives.
125 people die by suicide every week in the UK with 10,000's of people left devastated.
We need to do better.
Why we are called Violet Project?
Have you ever heard of the old saying "She's no shrinking violet? "
Well this saying means "She is not shy" and that is where our name came from!
Violet Project are not shy, ashamed or easily frightened when talking about Suicide or Self-harm.
We advocate for those who need us.
We advocate for changes to the system.
