Today is Time to Talk day and we're resharing our campaign from 2025, to remind you that talking about suicide not only reduces the stigma but can also help someone struggling to seek help and rethink their options. 💜

Today was my ‘official’ visit to @ColchesterSams where Maggie was there to greet me. I say official, as I’ll be back again on Sunday as I’m speaking at their branch meeting! I’ll pop another pic up then 😁 In the meantime next stop on Wednesday is Bury St Edmunds

It can feel tricky to open up a conversation with someone you care about, especially when the topic is difficult. Here are some tips to help get the conversation flowing - so pop the kettle on and let’s get chatting this #brewmonday 💚

Blue Monday? Actually, totally made up. Join us for Brew Monday instead 💪 If you do one thing today, reach out to someone you’re worried about and ask them how they’re really doing. Let’s turn small into big talk over a brew. ☕💚

Tomorrow is #brewmonday - supposedly the saddest Monday of the year? Anyway, we think it’s a great time to remind everyone that sitting down with a cup of tea, and chatting to a friend or loved one can help you feel much better about whatever is going on. Fancy a brew?

Quick, your Brew Monday drink + biscuit combo just dropped. Check yours, debate it in the comments, and remember we don’t make the rules (Except we do and we’re really sorry about the fig roll/orange juice combo situation😬)

Today I arrived at @IpsSamaritans Branch number 50! I had the pleasure of being accompanied on today’s walk by Samaritans CEO Julie Bentley. We chatted all the way from Woodbridge although she was afflicted by injury later in the day. Apologies Julie 😬 Next stop @ColchesterSams
