CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)is the Hobby Aids charity of the month for April 2024. I wanted to include a suicide prevention charity amongst the charities of the month. Suicide kills way too many people, but is often overlooked. CALM was suggested and I like their ethos so I picked them for this month.
For April 2024, 10% of the profits of any sale I make will go to CALM. I’ll also share about them on Facebook and Instagram (@hobbyaids).

Please let me know if you have any charity suggestions!
Dr Eleanor Rogerson founded Hobby Aids because she believes hobbies are good for you and limitations shouldn't stop doing what you enjoy. She is based in North Lincolnshire, UK.
Her background is chemistry, but after years in industry she wanted to work for herself and so went self-employed. During this time she mainly worked as a gardener. Recently she has been diagnosed with arthritis in her hands, which has caused her to discover the gap in the market to cater for hobbies for people with limitations.
