The Challenges at Christmas

Samaritans are there 24/7 providing a listening service to our callers - that one call could just change someone's life. Whilst Christmas can be a joyful time of year for some, it is also a time where people may struggle to cope.

Christmas can also be a particularly stressful time of year which can affect people's mental health and wellbeing. Here at Samaritans we want people to be able to reach out to us and have someone there to listen. Around this time of year, there can also be an expectation to be happy and spend time with loved ones, but for some this is sadly not always the case.

By donating or fundraising for our branch this Christmas, you may just bring a little sparkle and shine into someone's life.

EasyFundraising

This is an extremely easy way to fundraise. Whilst we are shopping online more than ever due to the current circumstances, this is a no-brainer to help raise vital funds for the Branch. You just need to visit the site via this link. You can also download this as an app on your phone via here.

You will then need to select Northallerton and Dales Samaritans and then shop on the same websites as you normally would. This includes big retailers such as Amazon, M&S, Argos, John Lewis including some holiday booking companies. The retailer will then donate the money and it costs you no more than shopping directly with that retailer. This is probably one of the easiest ways that we can fundraise for the Branch and every penny really does add up and contribute towards keeping our vital services going.

Thank you everyone for your continued support - we cannot thank you enough!

We have over 40 volunteers in our Northallerton and Dales Branch and every donation made is greatly appreciated which help us to continue the work that we do. We rely on donations from the public to help keep the service running.

Thank you for your continued support.
