The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2022

​To mark what would have been Oli's 21st Birthday on 23rd November 2022, The Oli Leigh Trust took part in
​ ​The Big Give's Christmas Challenge 2022.

The Christmas Challenge was a MATCH FUNDED campaign whereby all donations received by the Trust during the campaign week were be doubled by the generous support of our major donor, Rahul Moodgal, and our Big Give Champion, Four Acre Trust.

Our campaign raised over £24,000 to support our new training programme, The Oli Leigh Legacy Programme.

​This programme will deliver essential suicide prevention training to schools, youth groups, sports clubs, voluntary organisations and universities. 

Living with loss

A frank interview with Joe Bellman @livingwithloss

In this edition of the Living with loss podcast, I’m joined by my good mate and medical Student @scottleigh1 .
​
Scott lost his brother Oli to suicide, and an initial coping mechanism was to get lost in his books and work hard to avoid the emotions of Grief. Scott explains how his grief journey follows the path of the 5 stages of Grief, at times there has been anger other times denial. We also look at Scott’s mental health journey, the difficulties he has faced, and we share stories over the weird world of panic attacks.
