Rhode Island Coffee is taking part in Brew Monday on January 20

Blue Monday, which is January 20, is said to be the most depressing day of the year.

But Samaritans is saying out with the blue and in with a brew to encourage people to make time for a cuppa and a catch-up.

Rhode Island Coffee, which is based at Golden Square, is taking part in the initiative.

On the day, the café will be offering a range of tea flavours for just £2.50 all day.

Customers will also have the option to donate to Samaritans.

Ravi Ruia, managing director of Rhode Island Coffee, said: “At Rhode Island Coffee, we feel a deep sense of responsibility to support our customers in any way we can.

“Loneliness is an increasing challenge in today’s society, and we’re proud to serve as a community hub where people can come together, socialise, and find connection.

“The Samaritans charity holds a special place in our hearts, as many of our customers visit us to make new friends, chat, and enjoy a welcoming space outside of their homes.

“We understand that it’s not always easy to open up, but we’re here to be a comforting presence for our local communities. Sometimes, a simple chat over a brew can make a world of difference.

“‘Brew Monday’ perfectly aligns with what we’re all about—bringing people together over a cup of tea.”
