💙

A subject very close to our hearts, reflected in our ethos. Social media gets a bad rap when it comes to mental health, which is why we strive to create meaningful connections, not just content.

If you're feeling out of sorts, reach out, speak up.

Check-in on that friend, the person you haven't seen in a while. One act of kindness can go a long way. 💙

Jokes! A little throwback to Food and Drink North East HITS Expo.
