Welcome to Samaritans of Northumbria
My name is Ernie and I am the Director of Samaritans of Northumbria. Our branch is situated in the town of Ashington ("the biggest pit village in the world") in south east Northumberland. We are one of two Samaritans' branches in Northumberland (the other is in Berwick-upon-Tweed) and draw volunteers from all over the county. Our volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds and find their involvement with Samaritans a very rewarding experience.
An unusual aspect of our branch is that we provide training and support to prison inmates who are then able to act as listening volunteers to other prisoners.
We are always looking for volunteers, whether that is to answer phone calls or provide support in other (fundraising, IT, admin) ways. Please contact us to find out more. You will be sure of a very warm welcome.
