Together we can change lives.
The Oli Leigh Trust is an independent Suicide Prevention Charity, set up by family and friends after the loss of Oli Leigh who took his life in 2018.
Our mission is to transform awareness and understanding of the risks of suicide in young people, and equip individuals and organisations with the skills they need to help, so that that no-one ever feels unsupported or alone.
