20.10.21 An elderly lady joined my table yesterday & we started chatting. She told me her two children lived away & then she started crying as she told me her daughter had died recently of flu. I took her hand & listened. Some people want to chat. This bench is a lovely idea.
Our latest The Friendly Bench in #Burbage#Leicestershire was supported by a @LeicsCountyHall Shire Grant. Could this grant help bring #TheFriendlyBench to your #Leics community? Round 2 of funding is now open, here's more info https://t.co/gV0THgFAGZ

This 'Happy to Chat' bench is located in Mesnes Park.🌳
Getting outdoors in nature and connecting with other people is very beneficial to your mental health. So take the opportunity to take a seat and have a chat with others.🗨💚

Poland’s first “happy to chat” bench (gaduławka), which encourages strangers to sit and talk with one another, has opened in Kraków.
The initiative is intended to tackle loneliness and rebuild a sense of community as people emerge from the pandemic https://t.co/Wzpns0khLJ
It's so uplifting & inspiring to chat with our #TheFriendlyBench Network members & hear what connections they are making, the positive feedback they're receiving & to hear about their planned activities. @brandoninbloom1 have got some very exciting events https://t.co/2yU13BZdXl
It’s been a tough time for us all recently and sometimes it helps just to chat and shoot the breeze
In our Conservatory, you’ll find the “happy to chat” bench which is just for that reason #Buxton#Derbyshire
Have you seen the Happy to Chat bench on Giggs Hill in #ThamesDitton? We are hoping it will help to tackle loneliness & isolation by encouraging people to connect with others and start a welcomed conversation.
I have been very pleased with the “happy to chat” bench on Stone High Street, sadly a few think it’s a great place to dump rubbish #mummyanddaddymustbeproud
This is a great project led by @DanJacobs73 who designed the look 👀. It’s a pilot “Happy to Chat” bench @UniOfSurrey. Wonderful working with Jade, Lizzie @alwaysreviewing and Laura on this.
