‘Taboo subject’ - Hebburn fundraising evening set to support men’s mental health groups
A community champion and a social media star have joined forces to raise awareness for men’s mental health.
Three North East men’s mental health groups are set to benefit from a fundraising evening in Hebburn.
Organised by Angie Comerford, the founder of Hebburn Helps, and North East social media star Paul Thompson, the event is aiming to raise vital funds for Walk n Talk, Men’s Den and Brews Brothers.
The charity evening will be held at the Hebburn Buffs, on William Street, on Saturday, May 9 - with The Thompsons and Jade’s World set to be in attendance.
Ahead of the event, Angie has stated how important it is to raise awareness for men’s mental health, which to some is still seen as an issue that shouldn’t be spoken about.
She said: “It’s so important for us to all come together to raise awareness around this still taboo subject.
“If by doing this we can help and make a difference, then that is all we are aiming for.”
Paul hopes that the evening will be able to make a difference for those who are in need due to their mental health.
He added: “We have all suffered in one way or another and have sadly lost people along the way.
“Coming together like this is so important and hopefully we can make a difference to those that need the help.”
Angie and Paul have stated that Lucky Ducky Comps and The Jewellery Queen will be hosting giveaways throughout the evening, with those in attendance about to win prizes.
Tickets for the event cost £5 for adults and £3 for children - they are available at: https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QW730SNH.
