CALM, the campaign against living miserably exists to support young men who are depressed or feeling down. The new CALMZone London helpline and texting service launches on 26th November to help prevent suicide – the biggest killer of young men in London.

The new CALMZone service operates a telephone helpline between 5pm and midnight on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, every week of the year. Calls are free (from landlines and some mobile phone providers) and the helpline is anonymous and confidential. www.thecalmzone.net

CALM encourage young men to break the silence & Topman provides the perfect platform to make a big noise and raise awareness for the new CALMZone London helpline.  Through the power of music CALM takeover Topman & the two join forces for this exciting, unique event.


Zane Lowe says: “What support groups like CALM do is help men who struggle with balance to understand that they are not alone. That when things get too much, there is help at hand. It’s really important that music plays a part in this. It helps people to express themselves when simple dialogue is not enough.”

Huw Stephens says: “I’m looking forward to a special day of music to highlight a very worthy cause. It’s going to be a fun day and will hopefully bring CALM to the forefront of a lot of people’s minds.”

Rob Da Bank says: “Nearly all of us must have had or will have extremely dark or suicidal thoughts at some point during our lives. It’s human nature. That’s why CALM are doing such an important job – not only helping and being a friendly ear for men experiencing those thoughts, but also reminding the rest of us that the issue is happening and is out there.”
