A conversation over coffee can make a world of difference to someone suffering with mental health issues - as community hero Nigel Seaman is proving.
He launched his Combat2Coffee charity just over two years, predominately helping ex servicemen and inmates at Suffolk s Hollesley Bay prison.
“It’s that conversation with somebody on that day that might be the only conversation they have. That can change someone’s day, said Mr Seaman.
He continued: “One of the prisoners who has done the project came up with the slogan ‘change the world one sip at a time’ and I think that’s what we do.”
Even normally on a busy day we d have five or six, he said. The strange thing is, it s freezing once the sun goes down, but people are willing to sit in the cold and have a pint. They ve missed it, he added.

Shaun Waters, landlord at the Norman Warrior, on Fir Lane in Lowestoft, echoed the sentiment. It s been absolutely crazy, he said. We d never seen anything like it in our lives. I can t count how many people we had to turn away yesterday. Staff have been absolutely fantastic, he added.
