Telford

Volunteers from Telford train and support people in a near by prison on an ongoing basis to become Listeners inside the prison. We don't provide face-to-face emotional support directly to people inside the prison. Instead, we pass on our listening skills to specially selected prisoners so they can help their peers. Or to put it another way: we help to run a prison-based "mini Samaritans branch" where the listening shifts are all staffed by people in prison.

Telford Samaritans, a lifeline for over 50 years, offers 24/7 emotional support across the UK. Volunteers provide compassionate listening via phone and email, and engaging in outreach to schools and prisons.
