Dr John Patterson, managing the Serendipidty of Hope Project, kindly funded by the Albert Gubay Foundation, said: "When I first came up with the idea for the Climate Bench, I wanted to create something that would get people talking about climate and nature to spark just one idea that could inspire many.

"And when many come together, that’s when the magic really happens.

"Seeing Khalid’s idea brought to life as part of this shared vision is incredibly powerful."

The unveiling was attended by members of the public and special guests, including Jade Jones, Olympic taekwondo champion, and Lady Anne Dodd.
