A group of men from Shadsworth started a local Facebook group for the community, which has evolved into a much bigger cause where men can support one another
A group of lads started a local Facebook group for people to rate each other's evening meals, before the group's purpose changed.
"Then it turned into more of a community thing, where we'd raise money for different people and charities. We did a sponsored walk for a good friend of ours who died from coronavirus at only 33 years old - he was a big Liverpool fan so we walked from Blackburn to Anfield and raised around £12k. "We had two people come to the group in the first week and we were wondering what we were doing but it's up to 20 people now. It's all confidential, what we talk about, but the people that attend are drug or alcohol abusers, people who are being bullied - really it's anyone from any walk of life.

Tea and tea drinking: China’s outstanding contributions to the mankind - Chinese MedicineBackground Tea trees originated in southwest China 60 million or 70 million years ago. Written records show that Chinese ancestors had begun drinking tea over 3000 years ago. Nowadays, with the aging of populations worldwide and more people suffering from non-communicable diseases or poor health, tea beverages have become an inexpensive and fine complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapy. At present, there are 3 billion people who like to drink tea in the world, but few of them actually understand tea, especially on its development process and the spiritual and cultural connotations.
