Bournemouth Branch Samaritans are now working with and supporting military organisations
Samaritans, working with Military Organisations, have developed a “support app” specifically relevant to serving personnel and families, veterans and their families. (App Store: Samaritans Veterans).
Samaritans of Bournemouth & District branch is one of 6 branches that have a specific role of contacting Veteran Organisations to promote the support that is available. To date, Bournemouth Branch has given four presentations to Veteran Organisations, promoting the app and more are planned for the Autumn.
In addition to the app, a comprehensive website is now available and can be found at:

The site contains: details of the role of Samaritans; an enquiry process – could you be a Samaritan? a Q & A section.
