The Samaritans of Weston-super-Mare & North Somerset are delighted to have received a generous grant from the Postcode Local Trust, a funding trust supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. This crucial funding will help the branch continue its mission of offering round-the-clock emotional support to those in distress, struggling to cope, or feeling overwhelmed. The grant will support volunteer recruitment and training, help maintain a safe and welcoming environment for both callers and volunteers, and ensure the branch remains a vital lifeline in the local community. This funding strengthens the charity’s ability to be there for anyone in need, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
