Members of the Grenfell community are invited to the two events this Thursday, which Professor Louis Appleby will attend.

Professor Appleby heads up the Mental Health and Safety Centre at Manchester University, and is also Director of the National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Safety in Mental Health.  

He has been asked by Claire Murdoch, CNWL Chief Executive, to review the support services currently on offer for the Grenfell community and to share his advice. This will also include looking at the suitability of the current Suicide Prevention Strategy for Kensington and Chelsea.
