Amid the music, laughter, and vibrant festivities of this year’s Halesowen Carnival, the Brierley Hill branch of Samaritans made a heartfelt impact, quietly but powerfully.
💚 A Presence That Matters As families enjoyed the dog show and danced to live music, Samaritans volunteers engaged with visitors of all ages, sharing resources and stories about mental health and emotional wellbeing. Their message was clear: you don’t have to be in crisis to reach out.
📣 Raising Awareness, One Conversation at a Time The team handed out leaflets, answered questions, and encouraged people to take a moment for themselves or someone they care about. Many visitors expressed surprise and gratitude at seeing Samaritans represented at such a lively event.
🎪 Community Spirit in Action With support from local organisers and the warm welcome of carnival-goers, Brierley Hill Samaritans showed that mental health awareness belongs everywhere, even in the heart of celebration.
