Legend on the Bench
Harlow Bench Reveal 84 On a wet and windy morning in Harlow, Legend on the Bench installed and unveiled our 84th Suicide Prevention Bench. Despite the very poor weather conditions, people turned out in their numbers to support Ebony. This bench was placed in memory of a beautiful young lady named Ebony, who would have been 29 today. Ebony’s mum spoke so beautifully and proudly about her daughter, and at her request we all sang Happy Birthday to Ebony, a deeply moving moment.

A Heartwarming Christmas Day to Remember in Safron Walden Oh wow and I truly mean OH WOW. As Christmas Days go, this one will live with me forever. It sits right up there with the very best. The morning began in the familiar, comforting way, family gathered together, laughter, presents opened, love shared. But once the wrapping paper was cleared away, Christmas took a turn I never could have imagined, leading into what became the most incredible three hours I’ve ever experien

Sunderland Bench Reveal No 80 Today wasn’t just the installation of our 80th Suicide Prevention Bench, it was a journey back through time. A return to the city where I was born, raised, shaped, and loved… Sunderland. Standing there as the bench was revealed, pride washed over me in a way that words barely do justice. Memories of the childhood I was blessed with in my hometown collided with the emotion of installing something so meaningful in the very place that built me. It w

Legend on the Bench are very proud to share that we have installed our 72nd and 73rd benches in Southend. The weather was kind to us, but the turnout was intentionally small, a semi-private occasion attended by a chosen few. As always, the unveilings were inspiring, the kind that send goosebumps through your whole body. On this occasion, Lee and Louis, Jay’s dad and brother, hosted the unveiling for the first time. It’s never an easy thing to do, but your courage, enthusiasm

Legend on the Bench — Our Story
Legend on the Bench — Where we started — Where we are. There’s something special about a park bench. A place to sit. To breathe. To think. But for our remarkable charity, a bench is much more than that. It’s a lifeline. A symbol of hope. A reminder that someone, somewhere, is always listening. Legend on the Bench was born out of heartbreak. In 2019, my sister Michelle Mead lost her son, Jason, known to his friends as Jay, when he took his own life at just 23. Hi, I’m Michell
