Legend on the Bench works with local communities to place benches across the UK and Ireland. Every bench starts with local people who want support to be there for someone in their community at their lowest moment.
Each bench displays contact numbers and QR codes linking directly to crisis support services with real people ready to listen.
Built-in integral lighting means every bench is a beam of hope even in the darkest hours, visible and accessible at all times.
Every bench is requested by local people, paid for through community fundraising, and unveiled at an event that brings the area together. Councils, sports clubs, schools and families all play a part in making sure someone is always listening.
Our benches are crafted to be beautiful additions to any park during the day. At night, built-in integral lighting transforms them into beacons of hope — visible from a distance and always accessible.
QR codes on each bench connect directly to crisis support services, ensuring that help is only a scan away, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Behind every number is a family. That's why we exist.
Every pin is a community that came together so that someone in crisis has somewhere to turn, 24 hours a day.
