We want everyone to know that Samaritans are here to listen, any time, free from any phone. To get this message out there, we have a brilliant team of outreach volunteers, giving talks, attending events and getting involved in the community.
You've probably seen us and about in North Hertfordshire. Here is just some of what we get up to:
- Local Railway Stations: An important part of Samaritans work is our partnership with Network Rail. As well as raising awareness at local stations, we also support the staff and provide training to help them learn how to approach vulnerable people. Our four main stations are Stevenage, Hitchin, Knebworth and Biggleswade.
- Lister Hospital, Stevenage: On the second Wednesday of each month we have an awareness display. You should be able to find us near Charity Corner on the main corridor from the entrance from 10am to 4pm. We talk to patients, staff and visitors to let them know about their local Samaritans branch. * People can always contact us on 116 123 or by email [email protected]. *
- Information Talks: Our talks team speak at local schools, events and to community groups. If you would like to find out more, or request a talk at your event or organisation, please email us.
- Events: We can often be spotted at local events such as Hitchin Health and Wellbeing Day, talking to people about Samaritans and helping to raise funds to support the vital work we do.
