Funding available for further The Friendly Bench™ in Leicestershire

Thanks to Leicestershire County Council, we have funding to support a community group or voluntary organisation in the Leicestershire area bring The Friendly Bench™ to their community.

Continuing our work to reduce loneliness, social isolation and create more cohesive, age-friendly neighbourhoods across the country, this funding will enable us to support a group in Leicestershire who have identified loneliness as a problem in their own community to deliver one of our purposely designed outdoor social spaces and welcome them into The Friendly Bench™ network.

If you are a constituted community group or voluntary organisation in Leicestershire who would like to bring The Friendly Bench™ to your community, are committed to managing and hosting regular events from The Friendly Bench™ (with our support) and want to help build a more connected community, please get in touch via our contact form or email: thefriendlybenchtm@gmail.com quoting ref: ‘Leics Funding’
