Our benches of hope

At Legend-on-the-Bench, our vision is to combat mental health issues and prevent suicides by providing accessible resources and support to individuals in need. We believe that there should be no stigma attached to mental health challenges, and we aim to create a safe environment where people can research and obtain vital contact information for themselves or someone they care about.

To achieve this, we are installing Suicide Prevention benches in public parks across the UK, each featuring a QR code that can be easily scanned with a smartphone. This QR code will direct users to a comprehensive reference list of professional support groups, complete with contact numbers, website links, and email addresses. Our goal is to ensure that help is just a scan away, fostering a community of support and understanding for those facing mental health struggles.
