Buddy Benches
Belmont Forum recently re-homed over 30 benches to 17 schools in the Belmont community as part of our Say No to Bullying initiative.
These benches will be used as Buddy Benches, a safe place for kids in the school playground if they are experiencing loneliness, feeling bullied or simply don’t have anyone to play with. A culture of caring is fostered as children are encouraged to approach those sitting on the Buddy Bench to offer friendship and support.
