On 3rd February 2023 Bromley and Orpington Samaritans held a joint awareness, recruitment and fundraising event at Tesco in Orpington.
It was a massively successful day where we received much interest and support from the shoppers as well as raising funds for our branch.
Throughout the day, many people told us their stories. The very first person to donate told us it was a long overdue payment. 40 years prior, aged 15 and homeless he was befriended by the Samaritans. He believes that without those Samaritans he would not be here today.
