First Contact & Consent Form

We are a Wirral & Cheshire based service helping people across the North West of England only.

At The Martin Gallier Project, we provide Immediate, non-clinical support for those affected by suicide, with no waiting lists, no criteria, and no barriers to access. Our service is built on accessibility, compassion, and immediate action.

What We Offer:

  • Immediate access to support for anyone considering or affected by suicide — no diagnosis or professional referral required. (16+ for those considering suicide, any age for suicide bereavement support.)

  • All referrals are contacted within 24 hours by a dedicated Suicide Intervention or Bereavement Worker

  • Skilled, compassionate support delivered by an experienced team with a deep understanding of suicidal crisis and bereavement, often rooted in lived experience

  • A focus on identifying the “third option” — a choice to stay safe for now — supporting individuals to explore reasons for living when hope feels lost

  • Collaborative, comprehensive safety planning, tailored to the individual and designed to disable suicide plans

  • Practical, person-centred support that is responsive to each individual’s needs

  • No assumptions, no judgement — just real support, when and where it’s needed most

Our Promise to You:

The Martin Gallier Project offers timely, barrier-free support.

Once you submit this referral, a member of our team will contact you within 24 hours.

To ensure you receive support as quickly as possible, please look out for our call and answer where you can. When calls go unanswered, it can delay support and reduce our ability to respond to others in crisis.

Get in touch.

So that we can get you the right help, please fill in our first contact and consent form.

IMPORTANT: If you or someone you know is in immediate danger please contact the emergency services on 999. If you need to speak to someone urgently Samaritans are available nationally 24 hours a day on 116 123. hubofhope.co.uk can also provide a comprehensive list of services available in your area.

We may be required to share some personal data under the terms of our contract for funding purposes. We provide this as a group statistic rather than individual information. We will always ask your permission to share your experience as a case study and you will have the opportunity to decide who and how we share this. Details of the data we hold and how long we keep it for can be found in our Privacy Policy at the bottom of the website.
