Friendship Seat

We donated a ‘Friendship Seat’ to a local kindergarten.

A Friendship Seat is a place where children who are lonely or sad can sit, in doing so alerting teachers and other pupils that there might be a problem. Children are taught in the school how special the seat is, and to look out for any student who is on it. It is hoped that children will approach the seat, and invite whoever is on it to play with them, or simply check if they are okay. The seat can be a key beginning to promoting friendship and kindness in youngsters and help build a sense of community.
