Branson Leisure are honoured to share that the Legend on the Bench charity has installed its 100th mental health bench across the UK – and Branson Leisure is proud to support this vital initiative as a long-standing partner.

These special benches – featuring solar-powered LED lights and QR codes linking to mental health resources – are donated by the Legend on the Bench charity to communities in need. As a trusted partner, Branson Leisure helps bring these benches to life through our craftsmanship and local expertise.

The 100th bench was dedicated to the memory of Clive Worthington – co-owner of Branson Leisure and a passionate advocate for mental health support. His legacy lives on through every bench installed: a quiet place for reflection, connection, and hope.

"My dad was always somebody who really wanted to help others, particularly anybody if they were struggling or finding things hard. Dad was 81 when he took his life, Michelle's son Jay was only 23. Mental health issues can impact people of all ages and from all walks of life – it's so important that they know, wherever they are, that support is out there and that people really do care."– Gina Tilly, daughter of Clive Worthington, Co-Owner of Branson Leisure
