Today is Su***de Prevention Day!
Can you see the invisible pint? 🍺👀

If you can, maybe it’s your sign to donate £3 to CALM, the su***de prevention charity helping people through life’s darkest moments.

Just add £3 to your bill at The Crutched Friar and help us turn invisible struggles into real conversations.
One invisible pint. One small donation. One life at a time. 🖤
