Brew Monday, held on the third Monday of January, reframes so-called Blue Monday as a day to connect over a brew. It encourages people to share a cuppa and a chat to beat the January blues.
When is Brew Monday?
Brew Monday falls in January (3rd Monday). It is one of the many UK awareness days that bring people together around a shared cause — see the full calendar.
Why Brew Monday matters
A simple conversation over a hot drink can make a real difference to someone feeling low or alone, especially in a bleak month. Brew Monday reminds us that listening is one of the kindest things we can do. Explore community support volunteering.
