July 25th 2026 Our 132nd Bench Reveal in Barton on Sea.
Today marked the installation of our 132nd Suicide Prevention Bench at Barton on Sea, New Milton, Hampshire.
The weather was absolutely beautiful, and it was wonderful to see such a fantastic turnout. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who gave up their time to come along and support this incredibly important cause. Your presence means more than words can say.
The speeches by Michelle and Ray Foster, spoken throughout the unveiling were truly inspiring and heartfelt. Each speaker brought honesty, compassion, and hope, reminding us all of the importance of talking, listening, and looking out for one another. Thank you to everyone who found the courage to share their words and experiences, they made the occasion even more meaningful.
As always, the unveiling was a truly moving occasion, bringing every emotion to the surface and reminding us why these benches are so important. Each one stands as a symbol of hope, compassion, and the message that no one has to face life’s struggles alone.
A very special thank you goes to Tracy King, whose dedication, energy, and unwavering support have driven this project forward. Tracy, you are an incredible lady, and we are so grateful for everything you have done to make this installation possible.
A heart felt thank you to Ray Foster, he played such a big part in the fundraising and the unveiling and along with Tracy and the local council, was instrumental in almost everything we did. Thank you Ray for your support and commitment, you are a star
We would also like to thank the local Council for granting approval and for supporting the work that LOTB continues to do within our communities. Your backing helps us spread our message of hope even further.
Finally, thank you to everyone who has played a part in making this happen. Whether you volunteered, donated, organised, or simply came along to show your support, you are all stars. Together, we are raising awareness, encouraging conversations, and helping to save live
One Bench at a Time. One Conversation at a Time. One Life at a Time. You Matter. We All Matter. Someone is Always Listening.
