S&L Self-Harm Distraction Kits is a non-profit company based in the UK, dedicated to supporting individuals affected by self-harm. Founded by Sally, whose personal experience with her daughter’s self-harming behaviours inspired the initiative, the organisation aims to provide practical tools and resources to help break the cycle of self-injury.

Mission and Approach

The core philosophy of S&L Self-Harm Distraction Kits revolves around the “Delay and Replace” strategy. Research indicates that if individuals can delay the impulse to self-harm by even 30 to 45 seconds and replace it with safer alternatives, the likelihood of self-injury decreases significantly. The kits are designed to facilitate this delay by offering immediate, non-harmful coping mechanisms.

Scotty’s – the military bereavement charity, supports and empowers anyone affected by military-connected bereavement. Founded in 2010 by Army widow Nikki Scott after her husband, Corporal Lee Scott, was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2009, the charity began as Scotty’s Little Soldiers, supporting bereaved military children and young people. Children remain at the heart of the charity, supported through the “Scotty’s Little Soldiers” service, but later in 2026 adults can access help too. Now known as “Scotty’s”, the charity has begun its transition to support anyone affected by military-connected bereavement, from any branch of the Armed Forces, whether serving or a veteran, and regardless of their relationship to the person who died or the cause of death. Scotty’s helps children, young people and adults from the British Armed Forces community to have confidence and clarity in navigating their entitlements, the chance to build social connections, the very best mental health and wellbeing support, and outstanding development opportunities. For over 15 years, Scotty’s has combined lived experience with professional expertise to support thousands of bereaved Forces family members and ensure their needs are recognised. Scotty’s ambition is to empower a community of more than 25,000 bereaved people by 2035.
