The Listening Bench

The Listening Bench arrives at New Bailey!

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re welcoming The Listening Bench to New Bailey — a simple but powerful pop-up designed to support open conversations.

📍 New Bailey Square
🗓 Thursday 14th May
⏰ 11:00am – 2:30pm

Hosted by local Salford charity Heads Up Gentle Men, this community-led initiative creates a welcoming space where anyone can take a moment to pause, sit down and talk. No appointments, no pressure – just a chance to connect.

While originally founded as a men’s mental health initiative, the pop up is open to everyone. Whether you want to chat, listen, or simply take a breather, you’re very welcome to stop by.

Sometimes the smallest conversations can make the biggest difference 💚
