Tired of seeing division amongst us all in the news & on social media?

Me too!

Part of the solution are initiatives like buddi bench.

And now...

buddi bench Arrives in Edinburgh Just in Time for Christmas!

I’m delighted to announce that I’ve secured another spot for a buddi bench in the heart of Edinburgh, UK.

I’m spending this weekend before xmas standing by our new bench and explaining how this scheme works, while handing out flyers about this new resource.

Already there is keen local interest in this initiative and we’re being talked about in the media:

Short of time? Highlights from the article published in Edinburgh magazine:

“AT A TIME WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE FEEL DISCONNECTED, A SMALL FRIENDLY CHAT CAN MAKE A SURPRISINGLY BIG DIFFERENCE,” SAYS FOUNDER & CEO SETH HUNTER.

“EDINBURGH IS A WARM AND SPIRITED CITY, AND THE WELLINGTON STATUE LOCATION GIVES PEOPLE A NATURAL PAUSE POINT TO REST, MEET SOMEONE NEW, AND FEEL A BIT LESS ALONE.”

A Simple Idea at a Time When It Matters Most

Across the UK, loneliness is on the rise — and Edinburgh is no exception. The buddi bench offers an uplifting, creative, and accessible response. No apps, no sign-ups, no requirements: just a beautifully designed bench and an open invitation to talk."

This beautiful bench costs just £3,000 all-in so let’s join forces and try and meet this target by giving us a donation via our website homepage or simply click this go fund me link below:
