It took a chance encounter out fishing for two men to decide to do something for men who were finding things too difficult to cope with and who contemplated taking their own lives.
The two men in question, Rick and Mick had similar experiences themselves and decided to act upon it and set up "Bearded Fishermen", a place for a friendly chat and a listening ear. It's grown hugely and they get calls from across the UK, Europe and even, so far away as Cyprus. And now it's not just for men,
Rick Roberts, the chairmen of Bearded Fishermen explained more to Siren Radio's Andrew David.
