If you’d like to get in touch, you can reach me by email or through the Facebook page @takeaseatyorkshire. I’m always happy to hear from people in Wakefield and beyond. You might want to say hello, share a thought, ask a question or talk about something you heard when I shared part of my mental health story on a podcast. Whatever your reason, you’re welcome to reach out.
Take A Seat is about connection, and connection doesn’t only happen on a bench. Sometimes it begins with a message from someone who connects with the idea or recognises something they need in their own life. Sometimes it’s someone who saw the sign while passing and wants to know more. Sometimes it’s someone who didn’t stop at the time but later wished they had. Those messages matter just as much as the conversations that happen in person.
I reply when I can, and I appreciate everyone who takes the time to get in touch. Whether it’s a few words about your day, a thought you’ve been carrying or simply a message to say you like the idea of Take A Seat, I’m glad to hear from you. Every message is an opportunity for connection, and I never take that for granted.
You don’t need a particular reason to contact me. You don’t need to have a story ready or something important to say. You can message just to say you saw the sign, because you’re curious about the idea or because you might like to take a seat one day but haven’t had the chance yet. If you’re going through something and would feel more comfortable sending a message before meeting in person, that’s fine too.
Some people get in touch because they want to know more about Take A Seat or find out where I might be next. Others share their experiences of loneliness, connection or mental health. Some tell me how a small moment has made a difference to their day, while others simply want to show their support or say hello. Every message is welcome, and hearing from people reminds me why I keep showing up with the sign.
If online contact feels more comfortable than sitting on a bench, that’s absolutely fine. Take A Seat isn’t limited to one place or one way of connecting. You can follow thehttps://www.facebook.com/OfficialTakeASeatYorkshire Take A Seat Yorkshire Facebook page for updates or send me a message whenever you feel ready. If you prefer email, you can reach me at takeaseatyorkshire@gmail.com.
There’s no pressure to get in touch, and no expectation about what you should say. Whether it’s a quick hello, a question or something more personal, I’m grateful you’ve taken the time to reach out. Sometimes, connection begins with something as simple as a message.
If you want to know more about why I do this, you can read the About page.
If you want to understand the idea behind it, you can read How It Works.

Reaching out is simple. A message. A moment. A connection. If you ever feel like getting in touch, you’re welcome to.
