Our Impact

According to the Office of National Statistics, Females aged 24 years or under have seen the largest increase in the suicide rate since their time series began in 1981. (Source – Suicides in England and Wales – Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk)

Georgias Voice is on a mission to to prevent suicide in Young women here in Cornwall.

We do this through our multiple free support groups across Cornwall, including an online support group for those that can’t access a face to face group, the aim is to make sure our support is easily accessible to every young woman in Cornwall.

Offering these safe, confidential spaces where young women can be listened to with empathy and without judgement is so powerful, we are validating their feelings and giving them a voice.

“I never realised how much I would gain from having 5 minutes of uninterrupted time to just say whatever I wanted and not be judged. I don’t know what I would have done if I didn’t start going to GV. I felt like I had nowhere to go and I had tried everything I could to feel better and nothing worked, until I started GV.”

Georgia’s Voice works hard to empower its members to be confident and capable in managing their mental health so they are better able to live the lives they want, as well as funding therapy, another way we do this is by encouraging integration into the community through collaborations with community groups and involving our members in events and fundraisers, because together we are stronger.
