Thank you Cornwall Community Foundation for mentioning us amongst such a fantastic list of groups and organisations.

Today, on Su***de Prevention Day, we’re shining a light on the incredible organisations across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly working every day to prevent su***de, support those affected by su***de, improve mental health and make sure no one has to face things alone.

Su***de rates in Cornwall are 46% higher than England overall (Vital Signs 2025). A shocking statistic that has unfortunately affected so many of us. We are proud to be supporting groups across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly who are working to change this.

From creating safe spaces to talk, to providing peer support, building connection and helping people find their way through difficult times, these organisations are making a real difference in communities across the duchy.

These are just a handful of groups we’ve had the privilege of supporting over the years:

💛 Georgia's Voice Supporting Young Women's Mental Health creates safe, confidential spaces for young women aged 18–25, helping them feel heard, supported and less alone. (pictured)

💛 ABandofBrothers Cornwall brings men together through mentoring and community, helping young men build connection, belonging and purpose.

💛 Sunrise Cornwall CIC supports people affected by su***de, helping those living with the ripple effects of loss to find connection, hope and healing.

💛 Penhaligons Friends provides specialist bereavement support for children and young people across Cornwall, including those affected by the death of someone through su***de.

💛 Cornwall Mind provides vital mental health and wellbeing support across Cornwall, including support for people bereaved by su***de and programmes focused on resilience and prevention.

💛 The Sparkle Foundation UK is working to support men who are lonely, isolated or struggling with their mental health (Steve’s Legacy).

Today, and every day, let’s keep talking and listening.

If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available. In Cornwall, you can call NHS 111 and select option 2 for 24/7 mental health support. You can also call Samaritans on 116 123, free, day or night. If someone’s life is at immediate risk, call 999.

The world is a better place with you in it 💛

Last week, ABandOfBrothers spent a sunny morning at Leach Pottery in St Ives.

We learned about the history of Bernard Leach and the pottery before getting our hands on the clay and making our own tea bowls. Working together in the garden, we had the chance to learn something new, get creative and simply enjoy being together.

Building a community isn't just about the mentoring, or the Wednesday nights. It's about the experiences we share, the things we learn together and the connections we build along the way.

We had a brilliant time at Leach Pottery, hopefully the first of many more.

Rather than try to rival the England football game tomorrow night, we've decided to postpone our "Homecoming" ceremony by a week.

This is to properly honour the young men completing their rite of passage programme by ensuring there's a good turnout. So do come along you'd like to attend.

The Homecoming will now be at St John's Hall, Alverton St., Penzance TR18 2QR on Wednesday, July 22 at 7pm.

We had a fantastic Adventure Day for young men and mentors at the weekend, walking, climbing and abseiling near Rinsey.

Huge thanks to leader Rhys from The Tide Climbing Centre and his team Ali, Tom and George who also run Rise and Climb CIC which helps people improve their mental health through climbing.

They led men on a 20-metre cliff with a range of difficulties, all with the right kit, top ropes and an abseil at the end, before a cooling sea swim for some.

A great day out as ABandOfBrothers

Young men and mentors had a cracking Community Day on the shores of the Fal at the weekend.
The men worked along the rocky shoreline at low tide, culling non-native Pacific Oysters which create havoc for biodiversity in the Fal and the Helford.
These oysters quickly create big, jagged reefs and out-compete our native oysters. Our men had a full briefing about this and how their work supports Falmouth Marine Conservation's important mission.
