A Safe Place For Men To Talk

Sunday 5th January 2025

A message from We Are Men, Warminster:

How terribly sad that another person has died by suicide. This is the reason why the group WAM – We Are Men was started, to give guys in particular, a safe place to talk, if they want or just be with people that understand without judgement.

Any man is welcome Monday evening 7-9pm at Warminster Town Football club. Don’t have to book or give any details just come along.

Sending love and strength to the family and friends. It’s a difficult journey you face, lots of tears and unanswered questions.

“I Can Help And I Will Help”

Sunday 5th January 2025

Kate Mairis at Yarn For The Soul, 6 Street, Warminster, writes:

My heart feels so very heavy tonight after news of a few deaths over the weekend. I know that sat in my little corner here in Warminster there’s not a huge amount I can realistically do . . . BUT that does not mean I am going to sit here and do nothing. My shop is a safe place. You are always welcome here – yes you…. I will always make the time to listen. I always have a warm kettle and I’m told my hugs are quite good too. What I’m trying to say is that even if this reaches just one person feeling low, downtrodden and a bit crap then that’s a good thing. My shop is not just for women. Men are just as welcome here. If you feel like you have nowhere to go, please think again. I don’t have a magic wand. I can’t take your burden away but I can listen and I can point you in the direction of finding professional help. I can help and I will help. You are loved. Always. Katie xx

The Athenaeum Is Deeply Saddened By The Passing Of Teilo How

Saturday 4th January 2025

From the Facebook page of the Athenaeum, Warminster:

It is with deep sadness that the Warminster Athenaeum remembers the life of our talented technician, Teilo How, who has tragically left this world too soon. Teilo grew up in, and had a profound love for our theatre.

Teilo’s energy and contributions touched countless lives within the Theatre Community. In his memory, a Book of Remembrance will be available in the Athenaeum Gallery Room, where everyone is welcome to share their thoughts and memories.

We understand that some may wish to leave flowers. In lieu of this, Teilo’s family is planning to set up a fundraising platform to honour his name and support initiatives for young men’s mental health.

A light has gone out in a truly creative soul.

If you are affected by Teilo’s loss, we encourage you to seek support from local charities specialising in mental health and grief:

• We are Men – https://www.facebook.com/WAMWeAreMen/

• Open Door Chat Café – https://opendoorwarminster.org/

• MIND Frome – https://www.mindinsomerset.org.uk/

The Athenaeum is open every Monday to Saturday between 10:30am am to 12:30pm.
