The Red Bench Project provides benches across Tyneside and Wearside to encourage people to talk.
Additional benches have been installed as part of a scheme to help people talk about their mental health.
Wayne Rambo Groves, from South Shields, founded the project in 2023 after "struggling" for many years.There are now six benches in the north east of England after four more were installed this week in places including Jarrow, Hebburn and Marsden.Mr Groves said he spent many years going to "his spot" on a beach to help him decompress when he was struggling with his mental health.
"When I used to regularly sit on benches at the coast, I only ever had one person see if I was okay."
