Hi Everyone,

Please allow us to introduce ourselves.

Our team consists of Mr. Paul Newman and Mr. Mike Clarke Snr. Mr. Newman is a committed Champion at the Legend On The Bench Charity, while Mike Clarke Snr is a Disabled Veteran and Pensioner who also serves as a valued member of the team at Legend On The Bench Charity.


Mental health is an issue of significant importance to us, as one of our members, Mike, experienced Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after dedicating nearly 25 years to service in the British Army. Fortunately, approximately eight years following his military retirement, he received essential support from the Combat Stress Charity, located in Leatherhead, Surrey. Paul has consistently advocated for the well-being of ex-service personnel and has actively participated in promoting mental health initiatives. He has also successfully raised funds to establish a suicide prevention bench in Bromley, Kent.

We are raising funds to install a Self-illuminating, Suicide Help & Prevention Bench for Haslemere. The image in the post shows the 1st bench revealed at Sawbridgeworth in Hertfordshire.

We raise funds for these amazing benches by making & selling beautiful therapeutic products with Warm Remedy, and Mike also raises funds by completing 10km Treks in his Wheelchair. We have just raised funds for the benches at Gostrey Meadow, Farnham and Church Gardens at Bromley in Kent.

The benches have already helped people experiencing a Mental Health crisis, and the charity has revealed 161 to date. They are located all around the country and in Dublin in Ireland. Each bench glows in the darkness, and have a built-in generator on the back, to ensure that information and help are always visible; they really are a true beacon of light.

Every donation, no matter how big or small is extremely important towards every bench we reveal. We will continue raising funds for our remaining years as we know how important help is to others. This fundraiser is linked directly to the charity's account. Please do Gift-Aid as it helps the charity even further. The price of each bench is approximately £2300.00. This is due to transportation costs, and the cost of the built in generator, which comes from Germany.

(GoFund.Me will charge you for a donation, so please slide the small button to the left and ZERO (£0.00) if you do not want to be charged.)

Thank you so much for your wonderful kindness and support. Working together we can all save many lives.

Thank you.

Regards and best wishes,

Mike & Paul...x
Mike Clarke Snr & Mr Paul Newman
