@doctor__laura Phew! Well done Laura. You’ve made a brave and positive choice today. Kudos to you! And well done and thank you @metpolice, @TowerRNLI and the rest of your team. Top work keeping us all safe.

@doctor__laura It doesn’t have to be, Laura. This really doesn’t have to be how it ends. You’ve got options, you’ve got a future, you just can’t see it right now in the dark. And that’s OK. Talk to someone, anyone and they’ll help you turn the light back on. Come on buddy - you got this.xxxx
