Early on in 2024 Mr Apothecary and myself decided that we wanted to start a community project which would result in a fundraiser for the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM). CALM is a Suicide prevention charity who are on a mission to help people end their misery, not their lives. An amazing charity which has helped Mr Apothecary previously, when he was at his lowest. Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. And 75% of all UK suicides are male. CALM exists to change this by offering life saving services, promoting conversation and bringing people together to reject living miserably. <\/p>

Mr Apothecary spoke to our lovely discord community and it was decided that between us we would try to build and paint a demi-company of Red Scorpions Space Marines. This chapter was chosen specifically because of the numerous number of Apothecaries they use! Eventually, after months of work from a total of eighteen painters, from all around the world all the models were gathered together and raffled off on the 14th September 2024, a date chosen to coincide with the end of National Suicide Prevention Week. <\/p>

This event managed to raise \u00a31123 for CALM and Rally Point Games and Minds won the prize! This was an incredible coincidence as they also work to promote positive mental health within the tabletop wargaming community.\"edcocaihst1orfhtfywyipjeiybzpr3jcwh7nafdkkn4jeb2.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"\"a4r5jdf1mucbwvdqlkegpartzfp7qd8odtijabmud82bp8fm.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"\"levziyfkgaoozqze0awkz6n8stnr6ktp0ixhjkqgxcelm31n.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"\"uj8b4cdewm7rcspjdji58vckrlegd28qssgkoletizoyohk4.png.png?w=1140&v=2\"\"deoqvooqyufhpvyo0rpwxgs0lx7pghh2fse4ul4nvqoqkife.png.png?w=1140&v=2\"\"jda2r6uh5dkj6llsscrnlez9gfikzsxl7k2ika0402dgerjg.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"\"vgil8karffgsknvvtm8hrhijjmtb358czfzkzfbxg4rqbxdt.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"<\/p>","urlTitle":"2024-campaign-against-living-miserably-fundraiser","url":"\/blog\/2024-campaign-against-living-miserably-fundraiser\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/2024-campaign-against-living-miserably-fundraiser\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/theminiaturesapothecaries.teemill.com\/blog\/2024-campaign-against-living-miserably-fundraiser\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1740852558,"updatedAt":1740861734,"publishedAt":1740861733,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":387134,"name":"TheMiniaturesApothecaries"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/gagt7visutcovtluwp4tfsf0adxm5jl8iaqaiwp4dj7nww6o.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/gagt7visutcovtluwp4tfsf0adxm5jl8iaqaiwp4dj7nww6o.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/gagt7visutcovtluwp4tfsf0adxm5jl8iaqaiwp4dj7nww6o.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":46823,"title":"2021 Siege on Misery","url":"\/blog\/2021-siege-on-misery\/","urlTitle":"2021-siege-on-misery","division":387134,"description":"The start of the 77th Grand Battalion and overcoming suicidal thoughts through painting.","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/bwym0bwrbnhdxcnpkbbcgtp0skyusn8htp3lguzam5zltch5.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/bwym0bwrbnhdxcnpkbbcgtp0skyusn8htp3lguzam5zltch5.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":49597,"title":"March 2025 Scleroderma and Raynaud's UK (SRUK) fundraiser","url":"\/blog\/march-2025-scleroderma-and-raynauds-uk-sruk-fundraiser\/","urlTitle":"march-2025-scleroderma-and-raynauds-uk-sruk-fundraiser","division":387134,"description":"2025 Charity fundraiser for Scleroderma and Raynaud's UK (SRUK)","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/xoetut89kzbkzeqdeaucvzmfdnbbsbhhzyzrutxp67mcoddq.png.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/xoetut89kzbkzeqdeaucvzmfdnbbsbhhzyzrutxp67mcoddq.png.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":46827,"title":"Scleroderma and Raynaud's UK (SRUK) Charity Work","url":"\/blog\/sruk\/","urlTitle":"sruk","division":387134,"description":"SRUK fundraising over the years","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/tflqruvnadvrpgsdafh1wh6dp9dgbpu0scl7ajnptuzggv7i.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/tflqruvnadvrpgsdafh1wh6dp9dgbpu0scl7ajnptuzggv7i.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0}],"labels":[]}
