Samaritans penned in at Acklington

We were happy to attend Acklington Cattle Mart recently, where we had a table in one of their cattle pens to raise awareness of Samaritans of Northumbria.

The open nature of the shed meant the temperature was cold, but as usual, we were given a warm welcome by visitors to the Mart.

When Samaritans attend an event or a venue it's an opportunity to answer questions about our work, and to hand out leaflets with the phone number on.

All this contributes towards our vision that fewer people die by suicide.
