Description

Georgia’s Voice (GV) are working to stop young women taking their own lives by building the support networks they need to live happier and healthier.

Suicide is the leading cause of death among young people in the UK. In Cornwall, where deprivation is high and health services are overstretched, young women are even more at risk. Founded by Sophie Alway after losing her daughter by suicide, GV are plugging a gap by providing stigma-free support, including weekly peer groups, counselling, and wellbeing workshops, to create brighter futures for young women. Demand has skyrocketed but their part-time staff are at capacity.

With The Fore’s support, GV will grow their team to build the infrastructure and income streams needed to respond to the growing mental health crisis.
