We know that every story we hear involves three important people
The person who contacts us when they feel they have no one else to talk to… the Samaritan who’s there for them, to listen for as long as is needed... and the kind supporter whose gift makes that call possible – you.
The caller, Sophie
“It was the worst Christmas ever. The only people I could show my true feelings to – all of them, even the deep, dark ones – were Samaritans.”
The supporter, you
You won’t ever meet the person or people you help this Christmas, but by making a gift today, you will be part of their story forever.
The volunteer, Bob
“People’s problems don’t go away just because it’s Christmas. It’s exactly the same as any other day at Samaritans.”

Now I know there’s light at the end of the tunnel. With the support of Samaritans, I’ve made the first step towards recovery.
