Getting Support

Even though we are closed, help and support is still available.  If you need to talk to someone, need support or if you feel that things are getting too much, this link is to a list of support services. 

In an emergency, please call 999 immediately, or go to A&E (Accident and Emergency) at St. Johns or your local hospital.
