Samaritans

Samaritans Medway, Gravesham and Swale West are available 24 hours a day to provide confidential emotional support for people who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those which may lead to suicide.

Samaritans realise the importance of people having the opportunity to explore difficult feelings. Being listened to in confidence and accepted without prejudice can alleviate despair and suicidal feelings.

If you need to talk to someone, phone or email the Samaritans.

Volunteers needed

The Samaritans are looking for ordinary people offering confidential emotional support for people experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those feelings which may lead to suicide.

To volunteer, you need to be 18 years old or more and willing to give 22 hours a month, which will include one overnight shift.

If you would like to help, please call 01634 730981 for more details or register your interest on www.samaritans.org.uk/.
