World Suicide Prevention Day

Suicide, not covid, is the biggest killer of under 35 year olds in the UK

Friday 10th September is World Suicide Prevention Day – an annual awareness day that highlights the important work that people, organisations and charities are undertaking globally, to prevent suicide.

PAPYRUS is one of these organisations which offers advice and help in the UK, not only to those with suicidal feelings, but also to friends and relatives who may want advice about how to help someone they believe may be severely depressed or in danger of committing suicide.

For more info go to PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide

Papyrus runs Hopeline UK.

My new book of poems about love

david Roberts

My books (books I have edited) are primarily books of war poetry (mainly the First World War) and remembrance poems.

I also run a very popular war poetry website www.warpoetry.uk

Normally you can buy these books from any bookseller,including from Amazon. However, as a result of a warehouse disaster you can only buy my books second hand at the moment. Possibly you can find a dealer by clicking any Amazon link on this website.
