Being a Samaritans listening volunteer is one of the most meaningful things you could ever hope to do. 💚

It can also be extremely tough. As #VolunteersWeek moves forward, a huge round of applause for our undaunted volunteers!

[Samaritans of Waltham Forest @SamaritansWF]

Every 10 seconds, a Samaritan responds to a call for help from someone in mental distress. As #VolunteersWeek gets under way, a huge thank you to all the amazing volunteers at our #WalthamForest branch who do so much to make this possible. 💚

We're happy and enormously proud that our pizza quiz night has raised over £1.4k for our branch.

Another working week lies ahead. This week, can you check in with a colleague who's been quieter than usual? Or who just went through a big change in their life? Or is struggling to complete tasks more than usual? 💚

Don't try to fix it for them. Just listen and say it back.
