Beal's VS R;pple FC Charity Football Match

We had a blast fundraising for our chosen charity at Havant & Waterlooville FC, competing in a charity football match against R;pple FC.
"We are a local suicide prevention charity called R;pple, set up in memory of my son who took his own life in November 2020. Since this tragic event, Beal's Estate Agents have been nothing short of incredible in their support for us. They have carried out numerous fundraising events to raise much-needed funds for us to be able to continue our work and prevent what has happened to us from affecting any other families, have advertised and promoted R;pple at every opportunity, and as a family, we have been humbled by their kindness and generosity. 

Special mentions must go to Mark Hurst who completed an exhausting challenge climbing the Dolomite Mountain for us, to Grace Williams who has always been there for us and helped us every step of the way, and to Darren who has taken us under his wing as a local charity that he chose to support, and has shown incredible generosity. I cannot speak highly enough of Beal's for their support, kindness, and compassion which has kept our family going through the darkest of times."

OUR CHOSEN CHARITY 

R;pple Suicide Prevention

Their Story

I lost my son, Josh, on 25th November 2020 to suicide at 21 years old. After examining Josh's phone, my daughter, Alice, found that he had been researching techniques to take his own life via harmful internet searches. The content available online following a search of this nature currently provides mental health support in one format; a helpline. 

Mental health is a serious and urgent issue. Online searches for suicide methods have increased by 50% in the last 2 years with searches for suicide support lines also up by 150% since January 2019. (Semrush, 2021) 
 
To ensure more help and support is given to individuals searching for harmful content online, we set up R;pple Suicide Prevention. R;pple is a browser extension interceptive tool designed to ensure more help and support is provided to individuals who are conducting searches relating to self-harm or suicide. R;pple consists of a message of hope as well as a selection of mental health resources in a range of different options (call, text, webchat) from free, established and 24/7 charity services.
The Impact
To date, our technology has been downloaded over 130,000 times, with schools, colleges, universities, parents, carers and charities able to download R;pple, free of charge (fee required from businesses)
22 external individuals have approached R;pple to inform them that the tool intercepting them online at their most vulnerable point has saved their life and that they are now receiving mental health support.
R;pple has won 8 awards in the mental health space, after only officially launching in September 2021.
R;pple has gained significant UK media coverage, reaching over 8.5 million people and appearing on national television, radio and press.

We hope you can support us on our mission to get people the mental health support they need at a time when they are most vulnerable.
