Thank-you to @CETurner1975 & the wonderful team at @CarersLeeds for hosting me this week. In terms of preventing deaths by suicide & homicide, Carers Leeds are leading the pack. It's a privilege to be working with them to support carers in crisis.

Often unpaid carers end up sleeping on a window sill, in a chair, on the mattress on the floor, sometimes they get a bed. It’s often a battle to get one, every ward should have fold down beds for unpaid carers to rest so they can care for their relative gofundme.com/f/beds4unpaidca…
