Legend on the Bench Unveils 24th Suicide Prevention Bench in Memory of Juke

We are proud to share that our 24th Suicide Prevention Bench was installed in Wainscott, Rochester, in loving memory of Juke. It was a beautiful day, and the turnout was heartwarming — a true reflection of the community’s support for Adam and Legend on the Bench..

The Unveiling of our Suicide Prevention Bench.

A special mention goes to four incredible attendees, including our trustee Adam, Nathan Anderson, Vix Coveney and Jon Elms, who arrived at the Bench Reveal after completing a long walk to raise funds for the charity. Your dedication and commitment is truly inspiring — thank you for going the extra mile, quite literally.

Adam spoke with passion and emotion about Juke, with words that came straight from the heart. His speech was deeply emotional and resonated with everyone present. We were also honoured by the presence of the Mayor of Wainscott, whose thoughtful and beautifully delivered speech added to the day’s meaning. Also in attendance was the Local MP for Wainscott who turned up to support our cause.

Adam’s Moving and Emotional Speech

Together, the four walkers and the Mayor unveiled our latest bench, when you see the Bench unveiled it is a real thing of beauty. It’s always a powerful moment when one of our benches is revealed — a quiet reminder of why we do what we do, and a symbol of hope for those who need it most.

The Mayor of Wainscott

We want to extend a huge thank you to Adam — not only for being one of our Trustees or for being an incredible fundraiser but also for organising the Bench reveal after such a significant walk. Your passion and drive continue to inspire us all.

Thank you also to the Mayor for his ongoing support and kind words, and to every person who came along to support the event and donated to this wonderful cause. Without you, none of this would be possible. You are the heart of Legend on the Bench.

Also Thank you to Wainscott memorial Hall for allowing us the use of their facilities, we very much appreciate your support.
