Herts brewery launch candle for mental health charity
Money from the charity will go towards a local mens mental health charity
A Hertfordshire brewery has launched a new product for charity: a candle.
Tring Brewery has launched a candle for a local mental health charity Herts4Men.
Working with local candlemakers Everything's Rosie and the charity they've created an eco-friendly wax candle with a real hop aroma.
The scent replicates replicate the Raven King, which is Tring Brewery's flagship IPA.
A statement from Tring Brewery explains why they think its so important to support the charity:
"Suicide is the biggest killer of men under fifty, three times that of women, yet less than half of all referrals to phycological therapies are male. Herts4Men joins charities such as MIND, CALM and 12th Man in a campaign to get men talking.
"Aiming to provide free round-the-clock support, workshops and exercise classes for men in Hertfordshire, Herts4Men will use the profits from KING to design and print resource journals, available for anyone who needs them.
"Tom is the founder of Herts4Men, and started the charity following his own mental health battle that led to an attempt to take his own life. Instead of reaching out to friends and family, Tom turned to a destructive lifestyle to numb his troubles.
"Tom began talking openly about his mental health issues, and built up a support network around him that encouraged him to Herts4Men, to help other local men. Herts4Men has only has just begun and we're thrilled to be part of their efforts."
