But this will not be the case in Cleethorpes in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The day-long Bright Blue Monday event takes place from 10.30am to 6.30pm, with something for everyone \u2013 snacks, refreshments, music and displays. Volunteers from activity groups will also be on hand \u2013 from singing and dancing, to craft and environmental organisations.<\/p>\n<p>Organised on behalf of the Gardiner Hill Foundation charity as part of its Awards for All-funded \u2018Only the Lonely\u2019 campaign; it is supported by the Humberside Youth Association, NAViGO and its community groups, VANEL, the Blue Lights Brigade; Moon on the Water; and the Grimsby Telegraph Young Reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Older people are being encouraged to visit the venue in the morning, with parents with young children in the afternoon, followed by attractions and events for young adults from 4pm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough anyone is welcome at any time, there will be so much going on that we did think it would be a great idea to structure the day a little, so there was a chance to meet like-minded people,\u201d explained Warren Jolly, the owner of Moon on the Water.<\/p>\n<p>A full timetable will be issued in the new year, so keeping looking out for more details.
