## About
This one's special.

Hounds is hosting a Father's Day morning fundraiser in memory of Mick, a much-loved staff member who was lost recently, and it's all about raising money for men's mental health.

The setup is simple: bacon cobs, coffee, conversation, and community. It's happening at Halfway House Pub in Donisthorpe on Sunday 21st June from 9am to 11am, and everyone's welcome — kids, dogs, families, friends.

There's plenty of outdoor space with benches, a big play area for children, and parking sorted in the car park and surrounding areas.

At 10am, Kirsty and her 5-year-old daughter Jorgie will be cutting off their hair and donating it to The Little Princess Trust, which makes wigs for children and young people. The raffle happens shortly after, and there'll be some fun games running throughout the morning to help raise as much as possible.

It's free to attend, but you'll need to book a place on Eventbrite so they know how many bacon cobs to prep: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bacon-brews-bloke-talk-tickets-1991695094643?aff=oddtdtcreator

Cash is ideal for donations, raffle tickets and games, but they'll have SumUp available too. You can also donate online through their JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/page/bacon-brews-bloketalk?utm_medium=FA&utm_source=CL

Whether you're there for breakfast, a chat, to support the raffle, or just to be part of something meaningful — it's a lovely reason to gather.

For Mick, for men's mental health, and for a morning that matters. 🧡

## Murphy's Verdict
