Loneliness at Christmas and why community is more important than ever!

Christmas can be difficult and it can be hard to admit it to ourselves and those around us. Whether you find yourself without Christmas plans or unable to cope with the stress of Christmas plans, it can be tough. You might find yourself masking your worries for those around you or feeling like you’re missing out. We want to let you know there’s a community behind you, here to support you. 

Community has become more important than ever. We've been through Covid and have been trying to recover ever since. We don’t want you to feel like its lockdown all over again this Christmas. Pubs have always been the centre of communities which got quite difficult to maintain during Covid. In an age of social media imitating social interactions, it’s important to get out and experience real connection. Real conversations, real people, real good company. We want a new lease of life to the pub and community! 

The brewery has been running Social Sundays for a while with the aim of combating mental health issues with real human connection. This isn’t a lonely people's club; this is a community initiative to have the vibrant social combat we have all been craving since Covid.

We’d like to highlight, Social Sundays aren’t about business. We provide free tea, coffee and snacks to bring people in to sit and talk. That’s it, we just want to talk.

Our Social Sunday before Christmas is on the 21^st of December. Come along, enjoy tea and coffee on us and have a wee chat with us! Loneliness isn’t forever and we want to be part of community combatting it.

Lots of love,

                  SiWC Team!
