“The Samaritans provides a critical life-line for people who are suicidal, anxious or who simply need someone to talk to”, says Steve.
“Volunteers based in over two hundred branches across the British Isles answer phones, reply to texts and emails, and speak to people face to face. Anyone who can spare 15 hours a month for this vital work is welcome to join us”.
