Friendship bench unveiled in St Johns

A 'Sit and chat' bench has been installed in a wildflower area, to help friendships blossom.

The new bench and picnic tables are now at Garey ny Cloie (Gardens of Play) on Foxdale Road in St John's. 

The initiative by Compassionate Isle of Man saw several chat benches dotted across the Island last year. 

Recognisable by their purple and yellow paint (on recycled benches) or hardwood with plaques, they're places people can sit if they wish to strike up a conversation with others, easing isolation.
