Samaritans has teamed up with Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) as part of a new partnership aimed at recruiting students, staff and alumni to help with our support services.
The initiative sees trained volunteers from Anglia Ruskin in Cambridge and Chelmsford help with our online chat pilot, a digital innovation Samaritans is trialling to ensure we are offering the most effective support possible to those who need it, wherever they are in the UK.
Volunteers will also be able to answer telephone calls from the public as part of our 24-hour emotional support service.
We’re keen to hear from any Anglia Ruskin students, staff or alumni who are interested in becoming a volunteer. Please scroll down to "volunteer with us" to learn more.
