Ashington

My name is Michael and I am the Director of Samaritans of Northumbria. Our branches iare located in Ashington and Berwick-upon-Tweed, both in Northumberland, and we draw volunteers from all over the county. Our volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds and find their involvement with Samaritans a very rewarding experience.

An unusual aspect of our branch is that we provide training and support to prison inmates who are then able to act as listening volunteers to other prisoners.

We are always looking for volunteers, whether that is to answer phone calls or provide support in other (fundraising, IT, admin) ways. Please contact us to find out more. You will be sure of a very warm welcome.
