There's been another breakthrough for our campaign to raise mental health awareness in young people.

Home Secretary Priti Patel was asked in the House of Commons by the Blyth Valley MP Ian Levy to meet him and discuss the care of 12 year old Charley Patterson.

In October 2020 she took her own life

Since then we've worked closely with her family on Charley's Campain.

Charley's mam Jay says it's a great step forward.
