Legend on the Bench.

💙 March 3rd 2026…Our 101st Bench Reveal…Walton on the Naze 💙 On Tuesday we proudly installed and revealed our 101st Legend on the Bench , this time in Walton on the Naze. Sadly, I was unable to attend due to a funeral, but I knew the day was in very safe hands. My able deputy, Colin Merryweather, one of our true local champions, stepped in and did an absolutely superb job. He carried out the role as though he had been doing it all his life, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

100 Benches—One Legacy

Water Gardens, Harlow – February 26th In honour of Clive Worthington Where does one begin? Maybe at the start. I woke up on the morning of February 26th 2026 feeling excite and nervous at the same time. After all, we were installing our 100th Suicide Prevention Bench , a huge milestone. A moment filled with pride, and emotion. Off we drove to the Water Gardens in Harlow , where our 100th bench would stand, as a permanent reminder that hope is always within reach. Upon arrival

Legend on the Bench-Littlestone, New Romney

Our 6th and final reveal of the day, in memory of George Evans Our final leg of the journey brought us to Littlestone, New Romney and even before we stepped out of the car, we could feel it. As we pulled up to park, we saw them, a large crowd already gathered around the bench, waiting quietly. The light was beginning to fade, that gentle warning that darkness wasn’t far away. And yet, in that moment, the weather had softened, it was the best it had been all day. Standing ther

Legend on the Bench-Ramsgate

Herne Bay, Margate and Broadstairs completed and now on we go to Ramsgate 💛 As we arrived in Ramsgate, people were already gathering in the little shelter by the reveal point. It was such a powerful sight, seeing everyone coming together before we’d even fully arrived. We joined them in the shelter and took some time to talk about the charity, how far we’ve come, and where we’re at right now. Those conversations, even in the worst conditions, always remind me why we do this.

Legend on the Bench-Broadstairs

Broadstairs, our 3rd Bench of the day revealed. After Margate, we made the short journey along the coast to Broadstairs to reveal our third bench of the day. By this point the weather had shown absolutely no intention of easing. The wind was still howling, the rain relentless, the cold seeping into every layer. We were tired, soaked and windswept, but determined to keep moving on. Because once again, despite the brutal conditions, people came out to support this great cause.

Legend on the Bench-Margate

Margate, our 2nd bench of the day revealed. After the installation of our Bench in Herne Bay, we endured the 25 minute journey to Margate in what can only be described as treacherous conditions to reveal our second Bench of the day. By the time we reached the seafront, the weather had truly set in. The wind was blowing a gale, rain was smashing against our faces, and the cold cut straight through us. It would have been easy to retreat to the warmth of our cars, to postpone, t

Legend on the Bench-Herne Bay

Today 15th February 2026 we installed 6 Benches across Kent, taking our total installed to 99. On a day when most would have chosen to stay indoors, sheltering from the biting wind, relentless rain, and the kind of cold that seeps into your bones, something remarkable happened on the seafront of Herne Bay . It was the kind of weather that tests resolve. Grey skies stretched endlessly over the coast of Kent , rain lashed sideways across the promenade, and the wind showed no me

Knowing that his dream of meeting his hero, James Maddison, was about to come true was simply amazing. Watching the joy and love this boy carries in his heart was so touching.

A Day To Remember On 15 February 2026, Legend on the Bench will come together to install and reveal six benches across Kent, each one carrying a message of hope, compassion, and understanding.
