Are you ready for Brew Monday?

Today is Brew Monday, and as the name suggests it has everything to do with New Order’s Blue Monday smash hit but turning that frown upside down with the help of a cuppa.

Today celebrit-teas join thousands of people coming together for a cuppa, a chat and to banish the winter blues.

Brew Monday aims to encourage everyone to reach out to people who might be feeling lonely.

A new report shows that young people aged 16 to 24 report feeling lonely more often than older age groups, and the Samaritans who are the organisers of Brew Monday are asking the government to put young people at the heart of its action to tackle loneliness.
