After Life benches: These are the locations of the 25 After Life benches installed by CALM and Netflix

Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) have partnered with Netflix and together they have installed benches in parks across the country as part of the launch of After Life series 3.

Over the next few days, CALM and Netflix will be sharing exclusive conversations with Ricky Gervais and the rest of the After Life cast, along with a film about the way the show tackles grief.

CALM and Netflix have put up 25 benches around the country to inspire people who are struggling to talk.

Each of the benches are inscribed with the phrase ‘Hope is everything’, After Life’s vital line, to show people that it is normal and helpful to talk about our struggles, instead of bottling them up.
