These stories are too common. The mental health system has failed young people for too long. This Government did not cause this crisis, but they are responsible for fixing it. Massive reform and investment are long overdue.

Many GPs will only see one or two cases of childhood liver disease in their career. Our GP practice pack has been developed for you to give to your local surgery to help inform them about your child's liver condition. You can request your copy here ow.ly/fNGI50UOIle

Stacey… When you’re back from Smithy’s wedding, give us a call #GavinAndStacey
A letter with the Specsavers logo at top and a return address reading Specsavers Barry, 85 Holton Rd, Barry. The letter is dated 25th December 2024. The letter reads Alright Mrs Stacey Shipman, How's it going, alright? It has come to our attention that over the festive period, you've started to sport some glasses that aren't quite as lush as you think they are, truth be told. As such, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to offer you a free styling consultation at our Barry store, just across the road from Marco's Cafe. We'll take you through the various frame styles we offer, making sure you're wearing glasses that will turn heads from Barry to Billericay. Tidy, Owain Hughes Head of Style P.S. and before you ask, no I don't!
