A UK charity dedicated to raising awareness of the epidemic of male suicide has announced a partnership with The Stage pub on Wollaton Street as part of its annual 'Rise Against Suicide' campaign. HUMEN is asking people to join the walk, donate and get men talking as part of the campaign.
Supporters will embark on a 5,151m walk which will start at The Stage at 10am on December 4 with each metre representing a man who has lost their life to suicide in the last year. The charity conducted research into men's habits when socialising and discovered 36% of men in the UK do not feel comfortable having serious discussions in pubs.
Pubs are the cornerstone of many communities and HUMEN aim to encourage dialogue among men while identifying mental health concerns. The pub partnership with Star Pubs & Bars will bring local communities together to reflect and honour those who have died.
