Fundraising for Samaritans
Story
Every 10 seconds, Samaritans responds to a call for help. No judgement. No pressure.
"Samaritans are supported by around 22,000 incredible volunteers across the UK and Republic of Ireland, but it is not just our listening service that helps us achieve our vision of fewer people dying by suicide. We also provide workplace training to help people take better care of their mental health at work, as well as campaign for more investment in national and local suicide prevention."
I have called Samaritans. They helped me just by listening and giving me a safe place to talk.
