Hospice Isle of Man encourages conversation
Colourful benches scattered around the Island are there to help tackle loneliness.
'Sit and Chat Benches' are a Hospice Isle of Man project aiming to break down social barriers.
The seats are painted in different colours to encourage people feeling lonely or isolated to sit down and have a conversation with a stranger.
The charity hopes the initiative will also strengthen communities, as well as tackle mental health.
