Through the NHS Long Term Plan we are investing £57 million in suicide prevention by March 2024, and all local areas now have suicide prevention plans to address the specific needs of their populations.
In addition, the Government’s £10 million Suicide Prevention Grant Fund will run from 2023 to March 2025 to support voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations to deliver suicide prevention activity.
