Labour's new immigration plans are pandering of the worst kind and no way to treat overseas nursing staff who have come to the UK to care for patients.

On the day that the ONS published their annual suicide statistics, we want to spread a message of hope.

Because behind every number is a real person.
Because everyone deserves support.
Because there are always reasons to stay.
