Derry venues to host 'Chatty Tables' to help tackle loneliness

PIPS Suicide Prevention Ireland charity have recently launched a new out-reach service in an effort to reach out to individuals who may be isolated.

The series of 'Chatty Tables' will be hosted in Derry every Friday in partnership with their charity partners Starbucks.

A spokesperson said: “PIPS aim is to keep communities connected, encouraging people to have meaningful conversations and build emotional resilience.

“We hope to do this by having a chat in Starbucks stores across Northern Ireland over a nice hot beverage.

If you want to take part, why not visit your local Starbucks store on Friday's at Crescent Link, 10.00am – 12.00pm; Richmond Centre, 1.00pm – 2.00pm; and Foyleside Shopping Centre, 3.00pm – 5.00pm.
