⭐ Samaritan's Awareness Day - 24/7 ⭐ Throughout July, Samaritans will be raising awareness to remind people that they are there 24/7 for anyone who is going through a difficult time or is struggling to cope. ☎️ Every 10 seconds a Samaritans volunteer answers a call for help. There’s no typical person who calls Samaritans’ helpline and there’s no typical problem that people talk about. 🎧 Their extraordinary listening volunteers offer a safe and non-judgemental space for those who need to talk through whatever it is they are facing. We are proud to support Samaritans, an incredible cause that is needed now more than ever. ❤️ To show our support, we will be raising awareness on social media throughout July, as well as marking Samaritans Awareness Day on 24 July. If you’d like to get involved, you can also help to raise awareness by sharing Samaritans’ messaging on your own social media to let loved ones know that there is free support out there. 📣 Remember, when life is difficult, Samaritans are there to listen day or night. You can call them for free on 116 123, email them at jo@samaritans.org, or visit https://lnkd.in/eVviRnP to find your nearest branch
