Legend on the Bench——Cafe Cornell
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

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
