It’s never easy to take holiday time off for entrepreneurs and small business owners. As the owner and founder of ‘For Men To Talk’, my work doesn’t stop. I don’t simply turn up and host group meetings. There is marketing, design, social media posts, website updates to name but a few. Most of today, instead of joining the volunteers at church or Mengengai Crater I’ve been working on what is needed for the company. Absolutely I would have love to attend those places, but I have a commitment to ‘For Men To Talk’, myself and more importantly, the men who attend those group meetings. It’s a sacrifice that I have to take to fulfil my role.

When my work was finished for the day, I joined a few of the volunteers at a local wholesalers, where they were looking at school supplies, such as pencil and paper. After walking up and down the aisles, I saw plastic cups. West End Academy have very little cups, certainly not enough for every child. 

From learning about mental health over the last couple of years, I know how vital it is for children to have food and drink available, it helps with their learning. At just £10 for 100 cups, I didn’t hesitate to take up the opportunity to buy them for the school. I can’t wait to give them to the children tomorrow.
