In a disheartening turn of events, the UK government has decided to cut ringfenced suicide prevention money from the announced budget. This decision comes despite the increasing need for suicide prevention services and the rising cost of living. The government’s actions have left organizations like ours, Harmless and The Tomorrow Project, struggling to meet the growing demand for help.
The Impact of Funding Cuts
The cut in funding translates to a mere £1.40 per head, while the estimated cost of a suicide is £1.7 million. This stark contrast highlights the government’s disregard for the devastating consequences of suicide. The lack of adequate funding will inevitably strain frontline services, leading to longer wait times and reduced access to critical support.
