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.

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.

Why a RESTORE a bench?

Restoring a bench can serve as a form of mindful restoration for those doing the work, offering a moment of focus and reflection.

Why a INSTALL a bench? 

Benches, in their simplicity, offer mental health benefits by providing spaces for mindfulness, reflection, rest, and connection.

Whether placed in natural settings or city streets, benches serve as powerful tools in promoting mental well-being.
