The Impact Is Life Itself
At Body & Soul, impact is not measured in numbers alone, it is measured in lives transformed. It is the difference between being trapped in despair and discovering the possibility of joy, between isolation and finding a sense of belonging and between a life lost to trauma and a life fully reclaimed.
Our work is rooted in curiosity, justice, and love, guided by evidence and lived experience. It is tangible, rigorously monitored and evaluated both across communities and for each individual.
Above all, it is enduring, life-saving and transformative.
"Body & Soul is an extraordinary and I would say, pioneering, institution. They offer a model that creates a protective shield around a person."
Professor Peter Fonagy CBE
Proven Results, Three Decades Strong
Over 98% of members engaged with Body & Soul experience a measurable reduction in self-harming behaviours and suicidality. Our method integrates evidence-based interventions with lived experience and the power of intentional community. We create a model that is both clinically rigorous and socially grounded. It addresses not only immediate crises but also the underlying trauma, adversity and structural inequities that shape health outcomes. In our therapeutic, culturally attuned environment, members are supported to build emotional capacity, engage in meaning-making and cultivate resilience. Transformation goes beyond mere survival, creating the real possibility of building a life worth living.
30,502 Acts of Additional Support
Every act of support matters: each conversation, check-in and shared moment provides the stability and understanding that make lasting change possible. In 2024, 30.502 everyday acts of care and presence allowed individuals to engage with support, build resilience and find space on their journey of healing. While no single action carries the whole weight of change, together they create the foundation that makes transformation achievable.
15,460 Volunteer Hours Given
In 2024, volunteers gave 15,460 hours to Body & Soul, fuelling everything from frontline support to research, creativity, fundraising and organisational development. Each hour not only provided care but strengthened our capacity to reach more people, test and refine our programmes and deliver life-saving impact at scale. This is the multiplier effect of a committed intentional community, a network of expertise, compassion and presence that amplifies every pound invested. Volunteering extends our reach and ensures every life we touch benefits from evidence-based, sustained and holistic support.
Ready to Scale?
We designed Body & Soul as a space for deep, relational, in person healing. However, when COVID-19 challenged the way care could be delivered, we adapted with speed and vision. Our trusted remote model now brings life-saving, trauma engaged support to people almost anywhere, without losing the integrity or impact of our approach. Backed by decades of evidence, lived experience and community-driven insight, our model is proven, scalable and ready to grow. By investing in Body & Soul, you are not just funding programmes, you are amplifying a movement that transforms lives, strengthens communities and reshapes suicide prevention for the future.
Healing: In-Person and In Community
A dedicated centre delivering our unique model through in-person care, therapy, and a strong sense of belonging.
Online Support: Distance Doesn’t Mean Alone
Our model is now online offering therapy, specialist groups and resources that expand access and build therapeutic healing and connection anywhere.
Changing the Story of Suicide Prevention: Teaching What Works
We partner organisations to deliver training and direct care for frontline staff. This strengthens staff, builds organisational and systemic resilience and ensures life-saving interventions reach those most at risk.
Invest in What Works
With your investment, we reach the people others turn away: those labelled ‘too complex’ or ‘too risky’, living with unbearable pain, often unseen and unheard. We provide care that not only prevents suicide but builds lasting emotional resilience. Every pound strengthens a proven, evidence-based approach, rooted in community, equity and compassion. Together, we can save more lives, transform more futures and create a system where everyone has the chance to truly flourish.
Making A Strong Impression
We create campaigns that challenge the status quo, reframe understanding and pioneer ways to reach those too often unseen, marginalised or misunderstood. We turn heads, open hearts and shape the conversation on society’s most urgent health challenges.
