Yesterday, we held our 2024 Annual General Meeting, where the branch director was presented with a fundraising cheque from the Friends of Cheltenham Samaritans.
The Cheltenham and District Samaritans branch AGM was held on September 21. Our branch director, Andy, thanked all the volunteers for the amazing work that they do to support callers throughout the year.
We were joined by a representation from P3, who talked to us about the work that their charity does working with local people facing homelessness.
The Friends of Cheltenham Samaritans, who are celebrating their 45th anniversary this year, also joined us and presented a fundraising cheque. Their amazing efforts fundraised £25,000 for the branch in our 60th anniversary year. These funds are vital to keep our branch running, so that we can continue to support callers in the local community and on the phone lines, where anyone can call for free, 24/7 on 116 123.
