Have you found our services and info useful? Inspiring? Reliable? Comforting?
You know that LifeSIGNS is a user-lead, volunteer run charity right? We’re run by people like you, people with personal experience of self-injury, people with jobs, and boyfriends, husbands, people at university, people who’ve been in hospital… In short, we recruit our management committee from our thousands of members, I’m sure you’ve seen our adverts in the past.

So you know that we’re user-lead, and you know we’re volunteers, we run LifeSIGNS because we feel, as you do, that self-injury needs to be better addressed and people need a greater awareness of the subject and the emotional turbulence behind it.

Get involved

We really appreciate how involved and engaged our members are, you give us hints and tips, life details and stories – providing in-depth insights into life with self-injury. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to be here, doing what we do. We’re always pleased to hear your ideas and concerns, LifeSIGNS is always growing and developing, and your input is vital.

So, would you like to write an article for our Newsletter? Have you got a subject in mind that other people would be interested to read? Have you got an experience to share that would inspire or educate our readers?

LifeSIGNS also appreciates your other contributions. It’s difficult to talk about money when we’re all on a budget these days, but LifeSIGNS is generally a self-funded charity, we don’t get money from the Government or anything, we are supported by our members like you, and by sales of our Wristbands, SI Awareness Book and Training. LifeSIGNS is your charity, and so can I ask you to consider what LifeSIGNS is worth to you? A subscription to Heat magazine costs £79, and the Sunday Times costs around £1.20 each week. Everything LifeSIGNS publishes is available free; even our £5 SI Awareness Book is available for free download, how many organisations offer a whole book like that?

You know what I’m getting at, we haven’t discussed money for ages, but it’s fair to say that we exist because our members want us to and one of the ways you can show support is by purchasing a wristband, a book or by making a direct donation to us.

You can donate with a PayPal account, or just directly with a credit or debt card.
