A hero plumber has urged people to speak out about their mental health after revealing he tried to take his own life 13 years ago.
James Anderson founded the Disabled and Elderly, Plumbing and Hearing Emergency Response (DEPHER), which works towards helping vulnerable people in their times of need. However, before he dedicated himself to helping other, the Burnley plumber shared how three men previously saved his life.
At the time, James was battling his own demons and said he "couldn't see a way" out of the problems he was facing. Now, James is hoping to find the three lads and thank them for saving his life, Lancashire Live reports.
