The sister of a man found hanged in Oxleas Woods is now campaigning for better support for men who suffer with mental health problems.

Single father, Garry Guest was just 32 years old when he took his own life in Oxleas Woods last month.

Just hours before, Garry had sought help from Oxleas House, which is connected to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich.

He was turned away because they didn’t have enough bed spaces to accommodate him.

Oxleas declined to comment on what the protocol is on giving bed space to those in need.

He had also called the police but his sister said no one came to help and he was told to go and wait in A&E.

Garry was found hanged on August 7 by a passing dog walker and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Garry’s sister, Georgia has now set up a campaign for better support for men that suffer with mental health problems.

The petition has already garnered over 800 signatures in just 25 hours, but Georgia is urging everyone to sign and share.

Georgia said: “He had battled with mental health many years ago but since then had been living a normal happy life and had an amazing daughter and was a single dad, everything was going so well for him.”

She is now looking to get more help and more bed spaces put in place for those that desperately need it so this doesn’t happen again.

The week before his death, Garry had spent time in Oxleas, though he was discharged because they needed bed space, but Georgia said he wasn’t fit to leave.

Georgia continued: “More help and support needs to be put in place for people in need, we need more bed spaces or more places to go to to help these people instead of having to go and sit in A&E surrounded by people.

“We need something to be done as it’s happening so often now and it’s not fair, they are letting our men down.

"I really really hope I can make a difference and try and change this because so many people are battling this and I lost my brother, I will not let this just be another case just pushed to the side."

Anyone affected is urged to call Samaritans on 116 123, a line which is free 24 hours a day.
