Our branch has 2 charity shops which require careful
management and staffing. Are your skills in retailing? Could
you do an occasional shift selling clothes and books in aid of
Samaritans?
People volunteer for
Samaritans in many ways. Some volunteer to directly
offer support to the people who contact us.
Others prefer to volunteer to raise the funds to keep our
service open. We are always looking for new people to
volunteer in this way. If you would like to support us by
offering time to work in one of our shops, please contact the
shop and ask to speak to the Shop Manager
If
you wish to donate any clothing etc, your contributions will
be gratefully received.
Most of our donations are from members of the general public
and our dedicated staff. If you have anything at all that
you can give or if you would just like to browse, our local
branches are open, Monday to Saturday 10am-3pm.
We also need professional advice from time to time.
Is your expertise in accountancy? Do you have administrative
or secretarial skills? Could you be a volunteer consultant; as
an honorary treasurer, psychiatrist, solicitor or a Branch
secretary?
Give what you're good at; give the time you can.
You can be sure that your involvement with Samaritans,
in whatever capacity, will be rewarding. Whether directly at
the other end of the phone or indirectly by helping fund the
service, you can be sure that you will be making a very real
difference to someone. Samaritans know that they sometimes make the difference
between a caller choosing life instead of suicide.
As
you can see there are many ways for you to 'be a part of the
picture'.
