Stranger danger?
I placed the first ever buddi bench in my neighbourhood, Calverley Park, Tunbridge Wells, UK.
With your support this bench is the first of many to be placed across the UK & maybe beyond.
Here are some people sharing their experiences of chatting with a stranger on a buddi bench:
Anna, 28: "I was feeling so lonely after moving to a new town, but one chat on a buddi bench helped me make my first friend here."
James, 45: "Sitting on the buddi bench encouraged me to open up about my struggles at work. It was a relief to feel heard."
Claire, 60: "I’ve lived here all my life but never realised how friendly people could be. The buddi bench brought me so much joy."
Tom, 33: "I met someone on the bench who gave me great advice on starting my own business. It’s been life-changing."
Sarah, 24: "buddi bench helped me overcome my fear of speaking to strangers. Now I’m more confident in social settings."
Michael, 70: "After my wife passed, the bench became my lifeline. Chatting with kind strangers has brought me comfort."
