Talking Benches

The Talking Bench is a simple idea that a member of staff from the Health Connections team visits a bench at a regular time and is present to signpost people to help and support in the local community. Our staff are able to listen and to talk to people. For people without internet access or who prefer face to face contact our benches are a convenient information point.

The Talking Bench is in addition to our popular Talking Cafes. We have been able to use the bench as an opportunity to give out postcards for World Kindness Day.

We have benches across Mendip. Click below for details of your nearest bench.
