Brierley Hill volunteers taking time to care for their own well-being by spending time together, walking, chatting, getting to know each other and of course a cake and drink to top the afternoon off.
At Samaritans, our incredible volunteers dedicate their time, energy, and compassion to supporting others—but looking after their own well-being is just as important.
This week, some of our volunteers took a well-deserved break, enjoying a refreshing walk together. Stepping away from the phones, embracing nature, and sharing conversation helped reinforce the importance of self-care, connection, and balance.
Just as we remind callers that they are never alone, we encourage each other to pause, recharge, and prioritize our own well-being. Stronger together, we ensure that we can continue to offer the best support to those who need us.
A huge thank you to all our volunteers—you give so much, and you deserve to take time for yourselves, too. 💚

Would you like me to add any reflections from volunteers or details about future well-being activities? Let me know how I can refine this further!
Volunteers enjoying an afternoon walk and friendship.
A leisurely walk through field and forest,
With flowing grass and fine old trees,
A drink and chat to reminisce,
What better way to spend great time.
(Quote from the group of walkers)
An amazing tree spotted on our walk - wow I wonder how old it is?
We found another incredible tree - what a wonderful way to enjoy our afternoon of exploration and adventure.
