    As part of the Sensory Garden installation at Shaw lane, we are putting in a “mental health / friendship bench” to encourage people to stop and chat. (Think After Life/ Ricky Gervais)

    I’m looking for a quote to put on this bench. Obviously I’ve googled what others have done but I’d like it to be different/ unique.

    Something about friendship / support / helping others.

    Any pearls of wisdom out there?

    The road is long, with many a winding turn,
    That leads us to who knows where,
    But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him,
    He ain't heavy, he's my brother
    … So on we go

    If it's uniqueness you're after you want an expression/vocabulary/saying that is germane to Barnsley -

    can't help - I'm a Taff - the good folk of Barnsley should have some suggestions -- similar scheme in Merthyr has some benches with 'WHAT'S OCCURRING' on them.

    Would you have the words in other languages as well as English?

    To be honest I’m liking the Barnsley speak ones the best. Think that might get lost in translation.

    A place to sit, relax, chat and let it all out.
