I am writing to ask for your support in protecting the vital mental health services provided by Leeds City Council. You have been contacted by many other people about this, yet noone has received a response. The services under threat save many lives, and help people to recover from mental illness and to rejoin the community. Closing these services will lead to a much higher suicide rate in Leeds, destroy families who rely on the support on offer, and keep many people on sickness benefits. The amount of money that is due to be saved by this is less than £2m, which could easily be saved elsewhere, in places that would not endanger lives. 1 in 4 people will face mental ill health at some time in their life, and these services help them to pick up the pieces of their life, recover, and play an active part in society. I urge you to step in and help, this affects a large number of your voting constituents, and we rely on you to protect our area!

 While I'm here, can I ask everyone to use the "follow" button on the right of this page, this gives us a realistic number of supporters! Thanks in advance!
