What the petition asks
Think about the impact it’s having on the public. We are more than just a pub! We help people daily that need company, a listening ear, feeling down and depressed. People count on us for more reasons than just drinking and that’s what’s important to stop the rise in mental health and other illnesses
Think of the customers that rely on socialising day to day because they live alone. The ones with dementia who rely on routine and it speeding up the illness. The ones who go out to spend time with friends and family because they have months left to live and depend on there final weeks to be out socialising. It’s a safe place where people can unload there worry’s to a listening ear.. help someone feeling depressed lonely and suicidal. We are more than just a pub.
