Abstract

This evaluation assesses the impact and effectiveness of The Martin Gallier Project (MGP) in supporting individuals experiencing suicidal crisis, with a particular focus on those referred via the Cheshire and Wirral Partnership (CWP) NHS Foundation Trust. MGP offers a unique, non-clinical, community-based intervention model that provides rapid, high-street access to suicide intervention specialists without eligibility restrictions or waiting lists. The evaluation draws on a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from 9801 clients between February 23, 2019 (when the service began operating) and August 5, 2025, and qualitative insights from 50 semi-structured interviews with clients, carers, staff, and referrers.
