Instead of Blue Monday, we fully support Samaritans 2026, Brew Monday. To kick start the JavaScript & Sip 2026 schedule, we encourage you to come along and socialise, whether you choose to do so for a walk, coffee or some co-working, everyone is welcome. I will host a walk starting from Canary Wharf Station (Elizabeth Line) on Adam's Plaza Bridge, but if it is easier, please meet Joulie at Yummzy for 12:15 pm. At 12:30 pm we will set off along Upper Bank Street to Jubilee Park. A little walk around and through the park, past Middle Dock, along to West India Dock Pier. Walk along the Thames until we reach West Ferry Circus, over to West India Quay and around the North Dock, back through Canary Wharf roof top, then homeward bound via Cabot Square and into Yummzy Cafe. Circa 4km and we will go at a slow conversational pace. For those who would rather simply meet for a coffee or some co-working. We should be back in the cafe from 1:30/45 pm, where you can enjoy brilliant conversation about anything software, tech or even catch up about what's on your mind and socialise. We can continue until you need to shoot off or up until around 6 pm, when your working day should be nearing an end. Don't worry, you don't need to be in a job currently, if you are working, looking for a role, or someone to collaborate with in a start-up or personal project, come along. On behalf of Joulie (Founder of Yummzy, a big thank you for hosting this event too) and myself, I hope you are able to attend and would love to see as many of you as possible. Please feel welcome to bring a friend with you if this is your first event and for anyone wanting to know more about Samaritans and Brew Monday, please check out the information below: ***On Brew Monday, the third Monday in January, Samaritans reminds everyone to reach out for a cuppa and a catch-up with the people you care about.*** ***Today’s the day. The day you put the kettle on. The day small talk turns into big talk. The day you break open the biscuits and the taboos.*** ***The day you remind everyone how good human connection feels. How easy it is. And what a difference it can make.*** ***Let’s prevent suicide with a cuppa and a catch-up this Brew Monday. Because for many, tomorrow’s too late.*** [Brew Monday 2026 | #BrewMonday |There's always time for a cuppa and a catch-up](https://www.samaritans.org/support-us/campaign/brew-monday/)
