AWARE offers to take over Console services

The head of AWARE says the mental health charity is 'more than willing' to help if Console is shut down.

The suicide prevention and bereavement charity is expected to be wound up with a transfer of services to other organisations.

The HSE, the charity regulator and a number of representatives, from the sector were among those involved in talks late last night to plan a way forward.

Aware's CEO Dominic Layden, says they will be happy to help.
