We’ve seen a powerful influx of new faces over the past two weeks at Unload and Uplift. Hats off to the bravery of every man who’s walked through the door—your courage to show up and speak is nothing short of inspiring.

This week we’re holding two circles:
🟢 Tonight (Monday) at 6PM
TACT Offices, Strickland House, The Lawns, Wellington TF1 3BX

🟢 Thursday at 6PM
St Andrews Church, Shifnal TF11 9AB

If you’re a man over 18 feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or just need a space to breathe—we’re here. Breath of Life is a peer support group built on compassion, connection, and real talk. No pressure, no judgment. Just a circle of men who get it.

January can be a fresh start, but it doesn't mean that the pressure to drink disappears. Recognising pressure, and having steps in place to help you keep control, can be helpful.

Below are a few practical ways to navigate pressure around drinking:
➡️ Be aware of situations where you might be pressured to drink and plan for this beforehand.
➡️ Plan activities that don’t involve drinking.
➡️ Set a limit for events where you are likely to experience pressure.
➡️ Tell someone you trust that you want to stick to a limit so they can have your back.
➡️ Set expectations with others in advance that you won’t be drinking.

Being able to combat pressure to drink can make a big difference when it comes to being in control of your intake.

We don’t tend to share Police posts often 🙄🫣
But some essential advice for the next couple of days.
Please check on any elderly or vulnerable friends, family or neighbours x

⚠️Driving conditions are likely to be difficult over the next couple of days as brings snow, strong winds and heavy rain.

⚠️The Met Office has issued weather warnings for snow for Thursday and Friday, so take extra care if you do need to travel during adverse conditions.

🚗Motorists:
❄️Plan your route before setting off.

❄️Check wiper blades, tyres and screenwash levels.

❄️Before setting off, take the time to make sure your windscreen is completely clear. Clear any ice or snow, fully demist the inside of your windscreen and ensure any snow is removed from your roof. Don’t forget your lights, wing mirrors and side/back windows to ensure they are also clear.

❄️When driving, reduce your speed. Keep well back from the vehicle in front and allow plenty of time to slow down – it can take up to ten times longer to stop in snowy or icy conditions.

❄️Use your lights in dull weather conditions.

❄️Pack essentials such as an ice scraper, warm clothes, blanket, torch, food/drink and an in-car phone charger or battery pack.

🚶‍♀️‍➡️Pedestrians:
❄️Take extra care when walking, even on roads/paths which have been treated.
❄️Think about your visibility and ensure other road users can see you.
