If U Care Share with Matthew and Ben

Isy Suttie speaks with Matthew and Ben who lost their older brother to suicide.

Presenter Isy Suttie talks to two amazing young people, Matthew and Ben Smith, who tragically lost their older brother to suicide. Wanting to prevent more young men from taking their own lives, and more families having to go through what they did, they launched a campaign called β€˜If U Care Share’.

It all started at a charity football game, in which Matthew and Ben sold wristbands in the name of their brother Daniel. They went on to raise Β£48,000 before either of them reached their 13th birthday and now the campaign has grown into a charity that supports young people all over the UK. One of the charities initiatives, the β€˜Inside Out’ campaign, has really got people talking and so far has reached over 16 million people.

This is how Matthew and Ben are changing the world.
