Welcome
The Leeds Survivor Led Crisis Service was set up in 1999 to provide services which were an alternative to hospital admission and statutory provision for people in acute mental health crisis.
In 2006, the organisation won a prestigious national award – the Guardian Public Services Award for Customer Service, in the Innovation and Progress category. This was recognition of the organisation’s work as a dynamic, creative and effective alternative to mainstream services.
In 2007, this success was repeated when the organisation won the Guardian Public Services Award for Complex Needs in the Service Delivery category. This recognised the way in which the organisation provides an effective and compassionate service to people in crisis and with multiple needs.
In 2008 we were accepted onto Community Care's Excellence Network, an honours programme that recognises innovation. We were selected in the User Involvement category as a "working example of the benefits of survivor led services".
