It’s good to talk, quipped Bob Hoskins in the famous BT slogan from the 1990s.

And that’s also the important message that an award-winning burger joint and boozer in Farnham has served up in an event that mixed music, merchandise and the importance of good mental health.

The Hungry Boys hosted its second Spreading Awareness event on Saturday as part of an ongoing bid to get people opening up and talking about their mental health.

Spreading Awareness is the result of a three-way venture between Tom Martin, a friend, and Hungry Boys supremo, Dean Sadler, with latter allowing the Plough base on West Street to become for a hub.

Last weekend’s event was also a fundraiser for Rethink Mental Illness, a charity which provides support for people living with mental illness and families that have lost loved ones to suicide.

Mr Martin said: “I own a brand called Bread & Butter streetwear which is all about inspiring belief.

“My friend, Traf, owns EA Raves, which is like a rave merchandise brand, and Dean is a Hungry Boy. We all came together as mutual friends as a collective, using Dean’s pub as a hub, to put on this free event.

He added: “Basically, we want people to rethink mental illness – we’re trying to become a community of believers, and encouraging people not to stay at home and wallow.

“Our aim is to establish Spreading Awareness as a charity and we’re doing these events as part of that.”

The event offered a delicious combination of Hungry Boys goodness with merchandise sales, mixing and activities like guess the number of breadsticks in the jar.

There was also a bouncy castle for the kids with Mr Martin hopeful the event will push the fundraising total past the £1,000 mark as £512 was raised first time round.
