I’m George’s Mate

Today marks 3 years since George was admitted to James Cook hospital following his attempt to take his life.

George has been living at home since June last year and has made positive steps in his recovery. George communicates regularly through blinking, is supporting his head more and is working on his swallowing.

George has also been regularly going to the sports centre and using the move hub and has also recently started to go to Tees Neuro in Billingham for physio.

Thank you to everyone who has supported George and our family over the last 3 years. (There is far too many of you to name you all!). You are all incredible and we wouldn’t be where we are today without your love and support. ❤️

I have included some photos of George from the last year as well as some useful numbers for anyone who is struggling. Please reach out to someone whether it be a family member, friend or a support service.

Please remember we are always here if you need to talk 💜
