Jak’s World

Suicide Prevention Charity

Jak’s World is a suicide prevention charity established in memory of Jakub, our beloved son, friend, and brother, who tragically died of suicide on February 2nd, 2023. Jakub was an extraordinarily talented musician, achieving global success through collaborations with major labels such as Sony and Universal. His vast music collection and YouTube channel remain a legacy of his brilliance, yet his sudden loss left a profound void in our community.

We founded Jak’s World to support young people who, like Jakub, may face significant challenges as they navigate life. Our mission is to provide essential emotional and practical services, helping youth access career and education advice, music production resources, and mental health support.

We aim to raise £50,000 to establish Jak’s World Studio, a safe, supportive space where young people can receive guidance on careers, university applications, job interviews, financial management, and music production. We also offer emotional health support, with therapy, counselling, and mental health first aid, ensuring that no one feels alone in their struggles.

Our charity organizes events throughout the year, including World Suicide Prevention Week and memorial events for Jakub. Through these efforts, we hope to prevent another family from experiencing the devastating loss of a loved one. Together, we can make a difference.
