Candle of Hope

East Coast Samaritans in Arklow will mark the Longest Night by remembering those who need them most

Candle of Hope – 21.12.2020

To mark the shortest day - and the Longest Night - of the year, the East Coast Samaritans Branch in Arklow will be holding a virtual Candle of Hope ceremony between 6 and 7pm on the 21st December by reminding those who are struggling the most that we are there for them during their darkest hours.

We at East Coast Samaritans are urging people in the town to support us by making a donation to our Candle of Hope. We will light a Candle for each person who are going through a difficult period in their lives or are remembering a loved one who has lost their life through suicide. If you would like to donate to East Cost Samaritans please follow the link below to donate online or donate by post to 55 Main Street, Arklow, Co. Wicklow , Y14 P8F8

Samaritans offer emotional support to those who need it most, when they need it most. You don’t have to be suicidal to ring Samaritans. Many people call because they are stressed, depressed, anxious, bereaved or lonely or struggling with everyday life.

Anyone who is struggling over the coming weeks can call us on Freephone 116 123, or by email on [email protected]
