“Friendship benches” where Londoners can talk to a health volunteer about anxiety, depression and other concerns
(Picture: Handout)“Friendship benches” where Londoners can talk to a health volunteer about anxiety, depression and other concerns could be installed beside Tube stations, shops and cafes.
The idea - which is at the pilot stage - has been exported from Zimbabwe by an academic at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, using £200,000 from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott.
