Teabags have been handed out to the public at Bournemouth station and across the country today, trying to cheer people up in a campaign they’ve called #BrewMonday – a play on Blue Monday.
The charity has been out in full force to lift spirits, giving out teabags along with a card containing their 24/7 hotline number, in light of today being statistically considered the most depressing day of the year.
They are hoping to raise their profile and make their services known, as Julie – who was involved today’s campaign – explains.
