Molly Rose Foundation

Following the tragic loss of Molly in 2017, the Russell family and their friends set up a charitable foundation in Molly’s memory. The aim of the Molly Rose Foundation is suicide prevention, targeted towards young people under the age of 25. MRF wants to help reach those at risk of suicide and connect them to the help, support, and practical advice they need.

At the Molly Rose Foundation, we offer key programmes to support your organisation, in the quest to help you implement well-being strategies that are achievable, measurable and effective. Our offer is aimed at everyone involved in day-to-day contact with young people. We are not a box-ticking organisation, we aim to provide tools that are effective and sustainable. Further down the page you can find our calendar of events and book on to one of our activities.
