There are five 'Happy to Chat' benches in Saltash. The benches are located at
- Lower Fore Street, opposite the Banking Hub
- Picnic bench located on Jubilee Green, Saltash Waterside
- Public bench in the seating area at Churchtown Cemetery
- Public bench on St Stephens Road
- Public bench at the Cornish Cross
The benches are designated areas where people who wish to chat can sit, this can help ease loneliness and low mood. Chatting to someone can be a simple act of kindness that can support people in a positive way and bring our community together. All five benches have a plaque with a QR code directing people to this page which signposts to additional support services.
