If anyone would like to purchase one of these amazing 8:56 Cricket shirts, they are on sale for a very limited period of time only. You can even have a name printed on the back as you'd be helping raise awareness for the Foundation & men's mental health. 856foundation.bigcartel.com/product/856-cr…

Today is 24/7 - Samaritans are here just that! We have to start talking more about suicide, we know men in particular really find it difficult, and breaking the stigma. Thinking about the great work our friends at @KingsLynnSams do on this day in particular #ItsTimeToTalk

SSamaritans@samaritans · Jul 24

Listen up: It's time to stop whispering about suicide. We are losing too many to silence. Help us shout about saving lives today, on #SamaritansAwarenessDay. Let’s prevent suicide today. Because tomorrow’s too late.
