Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Legend on the Bench Charity.

Legend on the Bench is a charity set up to try and reduce the number of mental health issues and suicides in the UK, by installing benches in public spaces, discreetly inscribed with contact information for support organisations that are accessed by QR code or the Legend on the Bench website. Our Ambassador Micky Hazard (an ex-professional footballer) was personally affected by the sudden suicide of his 23 year old nephew in 2019, and with his sister Michelle, started the journey to raise awareness and provide facilities, along with local council support, so that other individuals and families could get the help required before experiencing a similar tragedy. All funds raised go towards the production and installation of these Legend Benches with the aim to have one in every town or city throughout the UK.

Myself and some colleagues from Hevey Building supplies are taking the challege of a walk from our Moulton Park , Northampton depot to Hevey Timber at Kettering , and back again.Our aim is to have a bench installed in both Northampton and Kettering to offer light to those in need. Any donation made would be greatly apprecated and help us get through the one million steps we'll walk between us
