It's Ok Not To Be OK

Wednesday, 30 August 2023 07:14

Some useful contact details if you are affected by the tragic news of the passing of Police Sergeant Graham Saville.

On Thursday evening of last week we learnt of the extremely sad news about Police Sergeant Graham Saville being struck by a train in Balderton whilst saving the life on a man in distress on the tracks. 

Yesterday evening we sadly heard he had paid the ultimate price and had sadly passed away as a result of his injuries.

This news can be traumatic for some, and also a trigger for others. Help is always just at the end of your fingers though. 

If you are affected by the events that have occurred (or any other) please find below some contact details of people waiting to talk, listen and assist you through these times. 

The first step is to acknowledge you do not feel great, that is the hardest, but believe us, it's one of the best, we have been there.

Always remember It's ok not to be ok.
