Brew Monday 2024

This Brew Monday, 15 January, Samaritans is reminding everyone to reach out for a cuppa and a catch-up with �the people you care about.

At Samaritans we know there’s no such thing as ‘Blue Monday’ – feeling low isn’t just something that happens �on Mondays or in January.

So we say out with the blue and in with the brew!

There’s always time for a cuppa and a catch-up. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Monday morning or Saturday night, or if you’re drinking green tea, black coffee or orange juice.

If you’re sharing a cuppa and listening, you’re doing it right!

1. Split into pairs (if you’re meeting virtually use breakout rooms)

2. Each person takes it in turns to share:

- Their favourite memory of sharing a cuppa with someone

- The person they most like to share a cuppa with and why

3. After 5 minutes, come back together as a group and take it in turns to share your partner’s memory with the group.

For example: 'This is *name* and their favourite �memory was xxx because xxx.
