Story

As part of our Mental Heath and Suicide Awareness campaign, Sharp UK have chosen Legend on the Bench charity as our primary partner

The vision at Legend on the Bench, is combat Mental Health issues and Suicides by providing resources of support to those in need.

There should be no stigma attached to either of these, and they provide a safe environment to research and obtain contact information for yourself or someone who needs it.

The goal is to install benches in public parks throughout the UK, with the same contact information that can be accessed by anyone with a smart phone.

Simply scan the QR code and you will be directed to our reference list of professional support groups, with contact numbers, websites and email addresses.

With the help of Sharp UK employees, we hope to be able to install benches near each of our UK locations with the funds raised.

About the 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
