The bench scenes in #AfterLife are iconic. So we’ve worked @NetflixUK & @rickygervais to put 25 benches around the UK - inscribed with that crucial line from the show, “Hope is everything” - to help people talk about what's on their mind.

A few small words can make the biggest difference. That's why today, on #WorldMentalHealthDay , we’re asking you to #TellAMate they’re great. Yeah, it can feel cringe. But we know from our helpline that one word, one conversation, can be the reason someone stays.
