Today is Brew Monday! It’s a chance to reach out for a cuppa and a catch-up with the people you care about. Small talk can turn into big talk and talking saves lives 💚

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. ☕💚

A pleasure to join you again - even with the injury!! And lovely to chat to the various people along the way who wanted to wish you well. Wonderful ambassador for @samaritans 💚
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

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance, a day to honour and remember the trans and non-binary lives lost. Days like this can be heavy and sadly can also increase hate towards trans people. We want to remind you we’re here if you're struggling and stand by you in solidarity 💚 1/3

It’s International Men’s Day, and we want to talk about one of the biggest issues that men face today and what can be done to tackle it. Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50, and men account for three-quarters of all deaths by suicide. 🧵 1/5
