Date: 02/10/2025

Another beautiful day unveiling one of our Suicide Prevention Benches. This time, the venue was Biggleswade, where Caroline had raised the funds for a bench in memory of her beloved 18-year-old son, Olly.

Caroline delivered one of the most heartfelt and courageous speeches we’ve ever heard, paying a deeply moving tribute to her wonderful son. Surrounded by Olly’s family, the unveiling was a poignant and emotional moment, with tears shed in his memor

Olly's family along with his Mum did the unveiling, as always it is a truly beautiful moment when the Bench finally comes into View, goosebumps.

Caroline, thank you, not just for supporting our Charity but also for your incredible bravery and strength in standing up to share your emotions,, your story was nothing short of inspirational, and we will use it to keep us driving forward as a matter of urgency. We have no doubt that Olly is looking down on you with immense pride.

Thank you to the workers who came along and installed the base, we very much appreciate your time effort and support.

Also great to see Ryley and his beautiful famil in attendance, even beating me in a 50 yard race, hes come an incredible long way, hes a miracle.

Great to see Chums Charity in attendance at the Reveal, thank you for your time effort and committment to the cause. Chums Charity is a Mental Health Charity.

At times like this, it acts as a gentle reminder to us all, that more must be done to help those in dark places find the courage to talk, and to ensure there are always people willing to truly listen. Talking and listening can save lives.

Our benches are more than just a place to sit, they are spaces to pause and reflect. They offer the support of real people, often at the exact moment it’s needed most. And most importantly, they offer something we all need, “Hope”, hope that we can see the darkness turn to light, helping turn moments of despair into the first steps toward a better tomorrow.

"You cannot be heard.........if theres no-one to listen"

"At the end of the darkest hour..........comes the light of day"
