OUR VISION​


​The Oli Leigh Trust  believes suicide is preventable not inevitable.
We offer grants to small charities that deliver suicide prevention and mental wellbeing training aimed at reducing the rates of suicide amongst young people.

​​
​During the last few years Coronavirus has affected all our children’s mental wellbeing.  The OLT’s mission is to look after our youth and ensure they have a future.

We are constantly speaking to various charities and not-for-profit organisations about ways in which we can assist them by providing much needed funds. Funds are awarded through a careful tender process which takes place annually. This process provides the Trustees with a basis to choose the most appropriate charities to support by way of a grant and ensures that we remain true to our commitment.
​

​In order to raise the much-needed funds to be able to make the grants to our chosen charities, the Trust runs various fundraising events and campaigns. It also relies on the generous support it receives from its ambassador, partners and patrons. please click here

"I still find it hard knowing that this is real and that this is forever. I can’t believe that I will never be able to kiss him and hold him and tell him I love him. The loss I feel is with me every moment of the day. I don’t want anyone else to feel like this."   Michelle 

MUMMY ON A MISSION - PODCAST 

I am a Mummy and I am on a mission to make suicide prevention education part of schools, universities, sport academies, the work place a compulsory lesson. 
 
If we talk out loud about our doubts, and share our thoughts, then hopefully we will be able to save a life.
 
I will be interviewing people who are dealing with their mental health daily and living their past experiences.
 
The ups and the downs, the acceptance and the stigma.  Friendships and relationships.  Knowing when to seek help and how they help themselves.
