Thank you to Simon and the team of volunteers who ran the Beard and Beer Festival at Fargo on Saturday, 29th July 2023.
The event celebrated those who grew beards and loved beards and, of course, enjoyed a good pint of beer. This year, the theme was ‘Let it Grow II’, and the event was supported by a team of volunteers from The Whiskered West Midlands and Warwickshire, Valhalla Beard Club and iBeardclub and sponsored by The Urban Gent, Coolbreardbro.co and Madame Magpie. The event had an incredible beard competition, and donations to Coventry and Warwickshire Mind.
Simon has been running this event over the last three years and has raised a total of £3191.26 for Coventry and Warwickshire Mind.
“I have suffered with mental health issues mainly over the last six years after the death of my younger sister, and that is why I support mental health charities.”
