Restoring benches is more than just a metaphor...
At The Bench UK, we really are restoring benches as a way of restoring mental health. Just as we would take time to repair and refurbish a bench, we can approach our mental health with the same care and patience. Together, we can create a more connected and compassionate society.
RESTORE
& INSTALL
Come together
Once a bench is restored, we find a location where people can engage in healthy conversations. Our goal is simple; to encourage people to come together to nurture the mental health of our communities.
