Volunteer with Us

Becoming a Samaritan is a big step. We recommend that you look at these information pages on the main Samaritans website so that you get a understanding of the role.

At our Branch we have a Duty Expecation:

• There is an expectation that volunteers complete 4 hours a week, or 16 hours in a four-week period. This can be made up of 2 or 4-hour shifts, but shouldn't exceed any single duty of 6 hours.
• In any 4-week period, we expect volunteers to include one weekend duty, and one high-demand shift (any shift between 22.30 and 07:00). All high-demand shifts are counted as 4-hour shifts, even though some of them fall short of this.
