Sometimes the hardest part of the week is pretending you’re okay when inside, you’re anything but.

You might be struggling. You might be angry, lost, exhausted or simply not know what the hell you’re feeling. Maybe nobody even knows how much you’re carrying.

Come through the doors. Have a brew, grab a biscuit — there might even be cake! ☕️🍪🍰

You can talk. You can listen. You can laugh. You can sit quietly. You don’t have to say a word if you don’t want to.

No pressure. No judgement. Just men supporting men in a safe environment.

Sometimes, walking through that door is the hardest step you’ll take all week.

But you don’t have to face your storm alone.

Real men. Real issues. Real support.

Come as you are. We’ll be here. 💙

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

We're asking people across Cumbria to start the conversation.

Talking about su***de can feel difficult, but a conversation really can save a life. You don't need to have all the answers. Knowing how to ask, listen and respond can make a huge difference.

That's why we're supporting Every Life Matters' campaign to encourage more people to learn the skills and confidence needed to have potentially life-saving conversations. Free Su***de Alertness training sessions are available to book here:

This evening, Every Life Matters will also be hosting candle lighting events across Cumbria, bringing people together in remembrance, reflection and hope.

Together, we can remember those we have lost to su***de, support those affected by su***de, and remind anyone who may be struggling that they are not alone.
