So many people have it in them to be a Samaritan volunteer. To touch another person's life when it really matters, by helping them directly, or by keeping our branches running, is a rare gift.
You can also express an interest by clicking on the 'Become a volunteer' button at the bottom of this page and complete the online form.
What is it like to volunteer with us?
Our service is freely available to anyone at any time and the need is ever increasing so there is always something going on for volunteers to get involved in. However, its also important to know about the great camaraderie between volunteers and the opportunity to make new friends as you go along.
Could this be an opportunity to exercise your existing abilities and talents, learn new skills, meet new people and, most importantly, be there for someone when they are in need? Why not find out more?
