THE MARY O'GARA FOUNDATION
The Mary O’Gara Foundation is a non-profit organisation raising awareness and funds for mental health services and dispelling the stigma associated to suicide.
We are run by volunteers (family and friends) who all share the same hopes and ambitions for the foundation.
We started our journey on 30 May 2020 when our beautiful daughter Mary took her own life and became an angel at the age of 27. Her legacy lives on and we all remember the happy, smiley girl we knew and loved so very much.
Current statistics show that four school children a week are lost to suicide in the UK. This is an alarming statistic and why we believe spotting the signs and tackling the issue at an early age is a priority.
Our mission is to roll-out a programme delivering suicide prevention training to members of staff in high schools across Lancashire so that every school is equipped with staff members who can effectively offer support to a young person who desperately needs to reach out. Suicide is a preventable death and we can all work together to ensure this is the case.
