We were excited to team up with BBC Stoke & Staffordshire for a special Christmas Coffee Morning on Thursday 18th December 2025.

 

The event was all about shining a light on loneliness, celebrating our Brew Crew project, and championing the incredible cafés and welcoming spaces across our high streets and villages. These venues open their doors every week to make sure no one is without company – especially at this time of year.

 

We encouraged everyone to step out, grab a brew, and show some love to the local hospitality spots that create safe, friendly spaces for people to connect – “Because no one should have to sip alone”.

 

Combating Loneliness All Year

 

We know that loneliness is a key issue, not just at Christmas, but throughout the year, which is why we run our Brew Crew and Brew Clubs project.
