Funds raised for Samaritans’ Birmingham branch
have largely been put towards Outreach in the area.
The branch used the money to produce green
sticks of rock with the text “when life sucks” printed through the
middle, and Samaritans contact details on the label.
Volunteers then hit the streets of Birmingham at closing time and
gave out the sticks of rock to people as they were on their way
home.
The rock drops took place on Broad Street in
Birmingham. It has been a fantastic initiative for Samaritans
volunteers to meet so many people on Broad Street on a Friday night
and raise awareness of Samaritans in Birmingham.
On the project side the
branch have further upgraded their telephone system to incorporate
digital lines and new hand sets and head sets and replaced their
old CCTV security system with a newer system to ensure volunteer
safety whilst on duty.
