What we do...

Frontline services

Anyone can hit crisis point. We run a free and confidential helpline and webchat – 7 hours a day, 7 days a week for anyone who needs to talk about life’s problems. We support those bereaved by suicide, through the Support After Suicide Partnership (SASP).

Communities

Together we’ll help our boys, our dads, our mums, brothers, sisters, friends and colleagues. We spread our message and facilitate supportive spaces in workplaces, universities, pubs, clubs and prisons across the country – so that people feel empowered to share their experiences and get the help they need before they reach the point of crisis.

Campaigns

Everyone has a part to play. We campaign with media partners, brands and ambassadors to spread awareness of suicide and its devastating impact with campaigns like #Project84, #DontBottleItUp and The Best Man Project. We challenge boring male stereotypes and encourage positive behavioural change and help-seeking behaviour, using cultural touch points like art, music, sport and comedy.

Escape's take on Campaign Against Living Miserably

If you’re looking to make a real difference in this world, then Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is a great place to start. As the name suggests, they’re all about tackling the issue of suicide, the biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. It’s a vital mission, and not surprisingly, their employees say they’re proud to work there (100% in the Escape 100). They also said the team is ‘incredibly supportive’ and that CALM is a place where you can ‘be you, no judgement’. Check out their open roles, and consider joining the movement.

This is a group of people who don't have the word 'impossible' in their lexicon. The office has such good vibes of changing what is an upsetting and painful reality. There's never an idea that is too wild, and we are trusted and encouraged to act on what we, according to our expertise, see as the organisation's best interest. It's also a very supportive work environment, we're always there for each other in times of need.

Feels phenomenal to save lives. Brilliant and supportive colleagues. Good benefits. Great vibe in the office. Fast-paced environment and massive growth makes it stressful too. But we have a lot of fun.
