We're so pleased to see the first TalkingPoint Bench installed in Wales, With Simon O'Rourke - Tree Carving crafting and carving. It is amazing to see his vision at work to fashion a semi colon from such an obscurely shaped piece of wood!
We hope the bench promotes and provokes many a conversation to keep people connected- and help someone struggling through one day to the next.
Its great to see so many coming together as part of the Baton of Hope - Wrexham leg and the wider tour.
We're so proud to have an idea born in Clevedon, North Somerset to be spiralling out and involving such great groups, organisations and individuals.
We'll be up to visit it when we can!
