The bench will also feature a QR code that will direct people to Mind’s information pages and its mental health support phoneline.“It’s an honour to collaborate with Mind and help support their vital work around mental health”, says Walker. “I would encourage anyone who is struggling with a mental health problem to reach out to Mind.

They are working to make sure that nobody has to face their problems alone. Getting the right support is crucial in the fight for mental health”.Jennifer Walter, Associate Director of External Relations at Mind, adds: “It’s brilliant that Tom is joining forces with Mind and really getting behind our campaign.
