🧡🪑❤️ Empty chairs... MADE THE BBC! ❤️🪑

Empty Chairs was featured on BBC News! 📺🙌

What started as a simple idea to get people together, have a cuppa and remind everyone that no one should have to feel alone, has now reached even more people. ❤️

And we’re not stopping there…

☕ Our next Empty Chairs events are:

📅 Thursday 15th October – 11am
📅 Monday 19th October – 6.30pm

Come along, grab a seat and have a chat. You don't need to come with anyone — just come along. 🪑❤️

Because sometimes, the hardest part is simply walking through the door.

📍 The Half Moon, Rayleigh

When Dean Perryman's best friend Rob Clancy took his own life, he wanted to create something positive from an unimaginable loss. His idea was simple; reserve an empty chair in a pub and invite anyone who needed a conversation to sit down.
