We had the best time celebrating our 50th birthday recently 🥳
Our North London branch of @samaritans was established in 1974! To celebrate, some of our volunteers even put on their favourite 70s outfits 🕺
It takes a lot of incredible people to answer this many calls - and we’re so proud of our volunteers at North London Samaritans for being part of it 💚#VolunteersWeek
Today is the start of Volunteers' Week!
We want to say a massive thank you to our @Samaritans volunteers who have donated their time and compassion over the years 💚
Thank you for all that you do #VolunteersWeek

Have you shared your experience with suicidal thoughts online?
Researchers at the @UniWestminster are conducting a study to understand the experiences of people who have disclosed suicidal thoughts or feelings online, and whether this may impact real-life help-seeking.
To learn more or sign up, contact Angi Pendleton: [email protected].
This study (ETH2425-1520) has been granted approval by the University of Westminster Psychology Ethics Committee.
Wow, what a day! 👏
