Chatty Bench – Northern Ireland Shaftesbury Pk

Shaftesbury Park Joymount, Carrickfergus, United Kingdom

The ethos behind it is to encourage anyone who wants to engage in conversation with someone to sit down on a bench and just have a chat. There’s also a plaque on the bench with a unique QR code on it, which residents can scan to access information on the Loneliness Network.
