Information Events

We always need new volunteers, so why not come to our next Information Event?

Sunday, 25th January 2009, Grove Green Community Centre (opposite Tesco)

and find out more about what we do. Please ring the branch for more details.

 

If you've attended one of our Information Events or Welcome meetings, the next step is to come along to a Selection session, where we try to get to know you better and make sure we think you're going to be comfortable with the Samaritans' way of working.

If we do, and you want to go further, you may be relieved to find we offer a series of training sessions before we ask you to take any calls for real.
