York Samaritans attend York Leisure Centre on World Swim Day, Saturday 26th October.
Founded by MySwimPro in 2018 and now an annual event every 4th Saturday in October to empower people around the world to get active in the water.
York Leisure Centre who have fantastic facilities for helping people keep active are kindly supporting York Samaritans who will be present in the hub on World Swim Day.
Our primary aim is to increase awareness of York Samaritans and to spread the word that we are there to listen 24/7 - whether it’s by telephone, email, letter or online chat. We’re there for people whenever they are facing challenging times.
You don’t have to be suicidal to reach out to us. Last year, volunteers from York Samaritans spent over 5000 hours supporting the public through the 24-hour freephone helpline, 116123, our email [email protected] and our online chat service.
Pop into York Leisure Centre hub on World Swim Day to learn more or simply come over and say hello! Although not a fundraising event we would be very grateful for any donations received and a huge benefit to the York branch.
