The Oli Leigh Trust

The charity was established by Michelle Leigh following the suicide of her son Oli, aged 16.

Our work in suicide prevention

The Oli Leigh Trust supports suicide prevention among young people by funding projects run by organisations dedicated to reducing youth suicide and improving mental health and well-being.

Our website offers signposting information for those in need of help, while our social media channels provide positive messages and support.

We maintain awareness of suicide prevention through regular events, both online and in person, and deliver talks to groups, sharing lived experiences of dealing with suicide both before and after loss.
