About
Bench yourself for an hour, snack and chat with one of our neighbourhood partners and your neighbours with no fixed agenda. Bring your own lunch or early dinner depending on your selected session.The City of Melbourne’s Benched Program offers the community an open opportunity to connect with a staff member in a relaxed, agenda-free setting. Come along to chat, share, and learn through meaningful conversation that supports community connection and wellbeing.
Take a seat, enjoy a biscuit, and feel free to talk about anything on your mind; big or small.
