The Trevor project


Daniel Radcliffe has proved once again he's not one of those actors who don't care. Daniel has made a substantial donation to The Trevor Project, a US helpline for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and 'Questioning' teenagers.

"I am very pleased to begin my support of The Trevor Project, which saves lives every day through its critical work.
It's extremely distressing to consider that in 2009 suicide is a top three killer of young people, and it's truly devastating to learn that LGBTQ youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers.
I deeply hope my support can raise the organisation's visibility so even more despondent youth become aware of the Trevor helpline's highly trained counsellors and Trevor's many other resources.
It's vitally important that young people understand they are not alone and, perhaps even more important, that their young lives have real value."


Good for you!
