The bench, unveiled today, serves as a place of comfort and hope. It was officially opened by Micky Hazard, Ambassador for Legend on the Bench, alongside Laura Gilbey, Trustee, and Town Mayor Cllr Martin Day. Representatives from Amersham Town Council, Samaritans, and local community members were also present.
Equipped with helpline numbers and QR codes that link directly to 24/7 crisis support services, the bench ensures that help is readily accessible. Its integrated lighting is designed to act as a beacon of hope, reminding individuals that support is available even during difficult times.
This initiative is a collaborative effort between Legend on the Bench, Amersham Town Council, and Samaritans. It was made possible through generous donations from local residents, funding from Samaritans, and a significant contribution from the Mayor's Fund, supported by former Mayor Cllr Dominic Pinkney.
“"A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring this meaningful project to our community."
