 Andrew Okell –  Paul’s Place Community Engagement and Support Lead said:

 “It was great to see Pub Invest Group using their well-established boxing event to encourage their team to break barriers and engage in conversations about mental health. Participants also raised essential funds for our Paul’s Place Bereavement Support Programme at Beacon Counselling Trust, which provides free specialist therapy and support for those bereaved by suicide in Merseyside. Events like these make a vital difference, and we are incredibly grateful for all their efforts.”

Paul’s Place provides crucial support for those dealing with bereavement from suicide, offering free specialist therapy, group sessions, and outdoor therapies. In the past year alone, they have received 113 referrals, delivered 1,141 therapeutic sessions, and hosted over 80 holistic group sessions.

Philip Gillespie, Pub Invest Group Marketing Manager added:

“ Pub Invest are really proud to host an event like Industry Rumble for a great local charity such as Paul’s Place. They do such great work in the community, helping people with bereavement support for families affected by suicide. Many of the participants and supporters had been impacted by mental health issues in some way affecting themselves or their loved ones so it was a perfect way for us to give back whilst putting a focus on the brilliant work the charity does and having a great night of entertainment at the same time. We look forward to collaborating with the charity with similar events in the future.’
