A unique bench that supports those in need while beautifying public spaces.
ORDER A BENCH WITH PURPOSEBlue Dot is a dynamic Oxfordshire-based initiative that harnesses high-quality outdoor furniture with life-changing impact.
Created in partnership by Homeless Oxfordshire and RAW, every Blue Dot bench is locally handcrafted and directly supports those facing homelessness and social disadvantage.
Every year, businesses, councils, schools and institutions across Oxfordshire purchase 100's of outdoor benches.
Most of them travel hundreds of miles to reach their destination, at great cost in terms of road vehicle miles. All they add to our communities are unnecessary transport CO2 emissions.
Blue Dot is made in Oxford for customers who want high-quality products and also believe in supporting real social impact.
ORDER A BENCH WITH PURPOSE
We've reimagined something classic – a bench – with a powerful statement of purpose.
When you buy a Blue Dot bench, you will be supporting Homeless Oxfordshire's life-changing services for those without a home.
You will be supporting people on RAW's training programme to gain skills, qualifications and experience towards fulfilling employment.
Your bench is a commitment to social responsibility and sustainability and a commitment to make a difference.
Benches are often used as places of rest – sometimes even as places to sleep – by people with nowhere else to go. The Blue Dot represents a shared space: a public symbol of support.
Every time you sit, you support. Every time you buy, you make a difference.
(Built to last many, decades, or join the movement)
Each Blue Dot bench sold = real, measurable impact:
Could keep someone safe for a week
Could provide one good meal a day for 3 weeks
A kitchen set for a resident finding a new home in the community
Provide a trauma informed counseling session
Perfect for colleges, parks, schools, businesses, communities, and private gardens.
