Mayor Spencer Flower and Roger Sweet (Club President) enjoyed trying out the new Chatty Bench on Ferrett Green in Verwood with club members.

The club was delighted to take up the suggestion of local resident John Helliwell to buy a bench for the town. They are also very grateful to Verwood Town Council for supporting this and taking on the maintenance of the bench long-term.

Community Switch, a local initiative supporting improved health and well-being in the community, has also worked closely with the club and set up a QR code on the bench providing support links for those feeling lonely or needing help. A great community collaboration to bring people together.
