As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting people every day.

We encourage everyone to pause, take some time for yourself and reach out to a loved one. You never know who truly needs it.

Happy 90th to the one and only Tom 🎂🎉

From the early days downstairs when we were less visible to our current space now, Tom has become a real part of the Big Onion family with his frequent visits, infectious energy and even having his very own reserved sign!

Tom’s definitely a character who has helped bring to life our vision in creating an inclusive space where people come first. ❤️
