Matthew and ME

One Life lost is enough! Bringing Hope. Spreading Smiles. Having honest and brave conversations. Breaking the Stigma around Suicide, Depression, Anxiety and Mental Illnesses

Matthew and ME is a nonprofit organisation created in memory of 16-year-old Matthew, who tragically lost his battle with depression. Our mission is to raise awareness about teen suicide, foster open conversations about mental health, and provide support for families navigating the challenges of depression or coping with loss. Recognising the immense pressure teens often face in academics, sports, and other areas of life, we aim to teach young people that it’s okay to not be okay and to seek support from trusted individuals. Through advocacy, education, and fundraising, we strive to keep Matthew’s memory alive and make a meaningful difference.
