Brew Monday 2026: Make the Gloomiest Day the Warmest One

This January, let’s turn Blue Monday, often called the “gloomiest day of the year” into a celebration of connection, positivity, and care. Brew Monday is your chance to bring people together over a cuppa, lift spirits, and support care workers across the UK. Lets brew some good together.

Whether you’re at work, at home, or in your community, hosting a Brew Monday event is simple, fun, and impactful. Every conversation, every cup of tea, and every smile helps raise awareness and funds for care workers who need our support.

What Is Brew Monday?

Brew Monday is more than a coffee break. It’s a nationwide movement encouraging people to pause, connect, and make a difference.

Take a break: Step away from your desk or routine for a moment of calm.

Share a cuppa: Invite friends, colleagues, or neighbours to join in.

Support care workers: Funds raised help those facing financial, emotional, or mental health challenges.

It’s easy to host, inclusive for all, and perfect for building community spirit.

Why Take Part?

Boost Your Mood: Enjoy the warmth of good company and a comforting drink.

Reconnect: Catch up with friends, family, colleagues, or your wider community.

Make an Impact: Help raise vital funds to support care workers in need.

All it takes is a brew and a space to chat!

Brew Monday 2026 falls on Monday 19th January, but you can host anytime throughout the month.
