Life costs more for disabled people. And the costs are rising ๐
In 2025, disabled households would need an extra ยฃ1,095 per month to have the same standard of living as non-disabled households.
This is called the #DisabilityPriceTag ๐ท
๐งถ We're proud to launch our brand new official tartan, โSamaritartanโ, this Burns Day!
Samaritartan symbolises all of our lives, intertwined, connected & often touched by suicide in some way ๐

Humble and proud to be celebrating 65 years since @EdinSamaritans started listening! This birthday belongs to all our volunteers who have been there throughout the years.
Today Samaritans of Edinburgh are celebrating our 65th Birthday. It is exactly 65 years ago, since the first Samaritan call outside of London was taken by our branch.
We are celebrating our volunteers past and present who have been to listen.

Just some of the messages from supporters at the Running Show ahead of the TCS @LondonMarathon. @samaritans asked people to write why they #BelieveInTomorrow ๐ Don't forget there are @samaritans emotional support hubs along the route this year
For the first time this year @LondonMarathon will have @samaritans support hubs positioned around the route and Samโs tail walkers supporting everyone to get over the finish line ๐
It rained and it rained and it rained. Piglet told himself that never in all his life, and he was goodness knows HOW old - three, was it, or four? - never had he seen so much rain. Days and days and days. Every day the water got a little higher. ~A.A.Milne #rain#flooding
If you are going through Haymarket Station this afternoon, perhaps to enjoy 6 Nations, perhaps to enjoy an afternoon with friends, look out for our volunteers who will be there between 2 - 5 pm as part of #smalltalksaveslives campaign.
We all worry about saying the wrong thing, but a little small talk can be all thatโs needed to interrupt suicidal thinking and start that person on a journey to recovery ๐ https://t.co/dwcjav56jR #SmallTalkSavesLives
First Brew of #BrewMonday in my favourite Snoopy mug. #BrewMonday is an opportunity for everyone to have a brew and chat and banish any banter of today being blue.
