We understand that individuals seeking support and information may have varying needs and preferences. In an effort to provide comprehensive care, we may recommend external charities or organisations that specialise in particular areas of support. It's important to note that these organisations operate independently, and we do not have control over their services, policies, or practices. We encourage you to research and consider the services and resources they offer, and to reach out to them directly for more information.
