Story

My name is Hannah Reid, I am 11 years old and have decided to shave my head for a very worthy cause.  My Auntie Nuala in Donegal shaved her head for two frontline charities during the lockdown. I was thinking about it for a while and then told my mum and dad at dinner last week. I wanted to do it for the Samaritans because my mum did some work with them and said that they were a very good charity. I also did some research with my Dad on the internet which made my mind up.  

Samaritans Ireland offers free 24/7 emotional support for anyone who needs someone.  Every 49 seconds, someone contacts Samaritans in Ireland.  More people than ever are contacting  them for support, with more than half a million calls for help last year, by phone, by email and face to face.  They deliver their service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, through a network of 2300 amazing volunteers in 22 branches throughout the 32 counties of Ireland.

EVERY 49 SECONDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the work the Samaritan volunteers do is just amazing. Please help me raise money for Samaritans Ireland.  I will be shaving my head on Monday the 13th of July at 7:30pm on Facebook.

                         SEE YOU THERE!!!!!!!!!!!          X0X0 Hannah
