If you have idea for fundraising or collaboration with Warrington, Halton and St Helens Samaritans, we'd love to hear from you
Samaritans are there for anyone who is going through a difficult time. We listen to anyone who needs someone to talk to without judgement or pressure and help people work through what's on their mind. We never give advice or tell people what to do. Our service is free to all and available 24 hours a day, free, 365 days a year via the phone or email. Every seven seconds, Samaritans answer a call for help. The demand for Samaritan support has never been greater.
The Samaritans funding model operates via branches, which are affiliated to the central charity but manage their own costs. Branches must therefore fundraise as well as providing our listening service.
It costs around £35,000 per year to keep the Warrington Halton and St Helens branch running. Your local branch provides telephone support for callers which is 100% delivered, managed and run by volunteers who are passionate about continuing to be there for those that need us.
We are keen to work with local groups and companies to help people understand how Samaritans supports people.
If you have any ideas of how you or a local group or company could work with us or support us to fundraise we would love to hear from you to discuss this further.
