wagamama partners with Shout to support mental health mission across the UK

wagamama will donate £40k to Shout and pledges to contribute 50,000 hours of volunteer work.

wagamama announced that it is partnering with the UK’s first and only free 24/7 text messaging support service Shout.

wagamama has made an initial donation of £40k which is equivalent to 4,000 text conversations facilitated by Shout volunteers. wagamama is also making an internal pledge to contribute 50,000 hours of volunteering to support Shout’s vital work, encouraging participation from across the business. 

The brand is also committing to support Shout in its goal to recruit and train 1,000 volunteers in 2024. According to wagamama, Shout’s conversations provide crucial support across the country each year, and with wagamama’s donation, Shout can continue to be a life-changing service to those in need.

“We are thrilled to partner with Shout as we aim to make a positive impact on mental health support across the UK,” said Thomas Heier, CEO at wagamama. “By joining forces with Shout, we look to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those facing mental health challenges. We hope that with our donation, volunteer recruitment efforts and internal pledge of support, we will positively contribute to the amazing work that Shout already do.”
