Adam’s Light suicide prevention charity receives Blum donation
Suicide prevention charity Adam’s Light has been named the recipient of a donation through Blum’s recent ‘Make It Happen’ good cause campaign, following a nomination from professional carpenter George Kelly. The funding will help the charity visit more schools and deliver its important message to young people.
Shining a light on suicide prevention among those under 30, Adam’s Light was founded by Lauren Carvalho in 2025 to honour her son, Adam, who died in 2011 aged just 19. Created in his memory, the charity has a clear mission to deliver impactful talks and workshops on mental health at schools, colleges, and organisations across the UK.
Blum’s Make It Happen initiative recently invited professionals to nominate a cause close to their heart. Throughout June numerous applications were submitted, with one entry selected to receive a donation of £1,500 from Blum UK to help make a difference in 2026. Owner of George James carpentry and close friend of Adam, George Kelly, nominated Adam’s Light with a heartfelt submission that ultimately led to the charity being chosen.
George James said: “I had the chance to tell the story of the charity and believed this donation would be hugely impactful. Adam was my close friend, and I’ve raised money previously by running the Brighton marathon. This was another opportunity to shine a spotlight on the cause and help provide the equipment and resources needed to raise further awareness of mental health and suicide among young people.”
Krystyna Threlfall, marketing manager for Blum UK, added: “Through our Make It Happen initiative we sought to hear about the good causes that sit close to the hearts of the Blum community, with a commitment to donate to the one that resonated most with our appointed selection panel. George’s nomination for Adam’s Light really moved us, and we felt it was an incredible cause to support.”
