HelloBench tried to reduce loneliness.

Close up of the back of a bench with a plaque on it which reads, “This is a Hello Bench. A place to sit, chat and connect.” Beside the text is a QR code.

Have you used a Hello Bench?

I noticed a HelloBench at a local nature area near where I live. HelloBench are a Woodley and Wokingham community initiative designed to promote human connection and eliminate loneliness. You can find them on Instagram and Facebook, and their GoFundMe.

It seems like a kind idea to get people chatting and connecting.

Remind yourself of just how much kindness is happening every day with more stories sent in by people like you:
