Making life a little easier ...
WHAT IS SIT STOP?
SIT STOP is an initiative that was started in 2005 by an independent community group in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
At SIT STOP our purpose is to make life just a little easier for those in need of somewhere to sit down.
These individuals may be elderly, pregnant, disabled or unwell; they may have tired feet or be laden down with shopping or they may just need somewhere to wait for a few minutes. It does not matter what drives the need.
In a shop or business displaying the SIT STOP logo, it is absolutely fine to ask for a seat or to use one if it is available. It is not necessary to be a customer of the store or to be using the services provided there.
We continue to develop the SIT STOP campaign as we learn from our experience and listen to the input from supporting organisations.
That’s all it is!
