Oasis-themed 'Sit By Me' bench installed at Wembley shopping centre
Briefly

An Oasis-themed bench called 'Sit By Me' has been installed at the London Designer Outlet in Wembley to promote men's mental fitness. This initiative, part of a partnership with the charity Talk Club, is designed to encourage men to take breaks and check in with their wellbeing. The bench features a question about mental health and includes resources for support, signifying a shift in shopping centers as spaces for connection and mental health awareness. Suicide remains a leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK, emphasizing the need for such initiatives.
The 'Sit By Me' bench, installed at London Designer Outlet, is a tribute to the band and a reminder to pause and check in with your wellbeing.
The bench features the question 'How are you? Out of 10?' and includes a QR code linking to Talk Club resources and LDO's mental fitness hub.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your mental fitness is take a moment, sit down and have a proper chat.
The bench is a simple but meaningful reminder that connection starts with conversation and that asking someone How are you? Out of 10? can be the first step to feeling better.
