We run information evenings about what it's like to volunteer with us several times a year
As well as looking for volunteers to provide emotional support, we also need volunteers who can help with fundraising, publicity, IT support, administrative tasks and general building maintenance.
Our Information Evenings usually take place at the branch, on a weekday evening from 1900-2100.
Our volunteers will talk about our work as Samaritans and about what it's like to volunteer with our branch. We try and run three sessions a year and our next Information Evening will be in early 2020.
If you would like to register your interest in attending an information evening please contact us via email - [email protected] or text us on 07845 035 901

Recruitment and Selection day
Our information evenings are followed by a Recruitment and Selection day - which generally take place on a Sunday from 1000 to 1500 - and will also take place in the branch. This event provides you with the chance to explore volunteering in more depth. It takes place in an informal group setting and you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and to talk about why you are interesting in volunteering with us.
If you would like to attend these sessions please contact us via email - [email protected] or text us on 07845 035 901.
