Orange Button Community Scheme

01. The Background

The Orange Button Community Scheme was created as part of the Lancashire and South Cumbria Health and Care Partnership’s goal to reduce suicide in the area.

People who are having thoughts of suicide, or who are worried about a friend or family member, can now talk to someone wearing a distinctive orange badge, and ask them for information and support.

The Orange Button Wearers received intensive suicide prevention training, and while they are unable to give counselling, they can signpost people to the relevant services.

There is also an orange button sticker that can be provided to businesses and organisations such as cafes, shops, and pubs to display in a prominent window to notify visitors that trained workers are there to help them.

Scheme Aims

Creating a network of organisations that have orange button wearers in place that can be identified, listen and signpost.
