#VolunteersWeek

[Derby Samaritans @DerbySamaritans]

“You hear the benefit people get when they are just able to talk and be heard... We speak to some people at the lowest point of their life, and it's a privilege to be part of their journey in some small way”. ~ Kerry, a Derby Samaritans volunteer. 💚

This #VolunteersWeek, one of our amazing volunteers, Steven, has shared his thoughts:

“It’s a great feeling to be part of an extended family as a Listening Volunteer at the Derby Branch. You make new and lasting friendships and receive great support from your duty partner”. 💚

This week is #VolunteersWeek, where we celebrate the contributions of our amazing volunteers.💚

Here are some words from one of our volunteers, Jack:

"You don’t need all the answers to make a difference. Sometimes, being present with someone in a difficult moment is enough"

Today is National Creativity Day, an important day for us to remember the power of imagination - and not to mention the countless studies which support the benefits of creativity on mental health!

You don’t have to be an expert to start a conversation with someone who might be struggling to cope.

A simple "Hey, are you alright?" can be all it takes to interrupt someone's suicidal thoughts. Anyone can do it. #SmallTalkSavesLives
