A Cramlington mum who lost her beloved daughter to suicide at the age of just 12 is set to meet Government ministers in a bid to save the lives of other children.
In October 2020, Jay Patterson's 'fearless', 'kind' daughter Charley took her own life, six months after she was told she might wait three years for the mental health support she'd asked for. Ever since, Jay and her family have been campaigning to improve children's mental health services in Charley's name.
And they've now been invited to make their case to Government. On June 23, the family will meet Gillian Keegan, Minister of State for Care and Mental Health, to set out the suggestions that they've dubbed 'Charley Law'.
