Say Hello with John Bishop
“It feels to me like the days of saying hello to strangers in the street, on a bus, or at the park have sadly pretty much become a thing of the past.
Most of us have spent too much time on our own over the past two years or so and now is the moment to get back out there and make connections with people young and old, near or far. The Say Hello campaign is all about making it that little bit easier to just, well… Say Hello.”
