About Us

The Stephen Lyon Organisation (TSLO) is a dedicated local voluntary group that provides essential support services to the communities of Kinross and its surrounding areas. Our primary focus is on empowering individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts, helping them regain control of their lives. We also extend our support to families, friends, and anyone affected by suicide.

In addition, we offer awareness programs and workshops designed to educate and inform people about the factors influencing suicidal thoughts and guide them on where to seek help for themselves or others in need.

We accept referrals for anyone aged 16 and above, whether through self-referral, NHS, Social Work, GPs, or other statutory and third sector organisations.

Our organisation is governed by a skilled and professional board of trustees and supported by our enthusiastic and passionate volunteers and staff, who combine their expertise, knowledge, and skills to drive meaningful change, dismantle barriers, and improve lives.
