This week is National Picnic week, and British Flowers week, and you already know we have biscuits to fit those themes perfectly - but the one that really matters is MEN’s HEALTH WEEK.
UK Charities this week have shared some shocking data, such as every week in Wales, 6 men commit su***de, and that su***de is the number 1 cause of death in men below age 50 yrs in the UK. And it’s sad to think how many people will find it difficult just to say I love you to their Dads on Father’s Day this weekend. The charities have all proclaimed this week - it’s so important to check in, have conversations and ask how the men in our worlds are doing.
Over the past few years we’ve supported , and with donations and we’ll keep at it as much as our small business can because these charities are barely able to scratch the surface. Less than 10% of men who need help are actually receiving help. The other 90% need us all to be there for them.
And our biscuits go a very long way in letting someone know you’re thinking of them. We modified our letterbox range a few years ago to allow you to select the appropriate greeting that sits behind the biscuit. If ‘You are loved’ feels too much/too soppy, you can select ‘Thinking of you’ or ‘Just for you’ on most of our letterbox biscuits. And at just £4:50 for this biscuit packet shown in this post, it might just help brighten someone’s world more than you could possibly imagine. This isn’t a plug for more sales - but just a reminder to keep a listening ear and an open heart for those who might be struggling and who are just too afraid, or stubborn or proud to talk about it. And of course send a biscuit if you think it might make a difference, or pop a box in the office or staff room if you are worried about your team or colleagues.
Most of all, soak in the facts that su***de is the number one cause of death in males under 50 and most of them didn’t receive any help or support. So very sad.
