About us

We are the UK’s only free 24/7 text support service for anyone who is struggling to cope. 

Thank you so much for choosing to raise money for Shout 85258. Whether you are taking on a physical challenge like running, swimming or cycling; hosting a party or bake sale; or taking part in any other kind of fundraising activity, we are incredibly grateful for your support.

The funds that you raise will go towards providing discreet and confidential help for anyone who needs immediate support with their mental health. Every £10 can help someone in distress to access an hour of mental health support and £250 can train a volunteer to take life-saving conversations with people needing immediate support. We help the children, young people and adults texting us with issues including suicidal thoughts, anxiety, depression, relationships, abuse, bullying and self-harm.

Shout 85258 is powered by Mental Health Innovations, a digital mental health charity improving the mental health of the UK population.
