We’re so proud of our volunteers here at Rochdale, Oldham and District who helped towards answering this incredible amount of calls last year.

Thank you for every shift, every call, and every time you chose to be there. #VolunteersWeek

Did you know we have 14 qualified Mental Health First Aiders at MHF?

This means we have multiple Mental Health First Aiders at every session for anyone who feels they need to talk, need support or signposting. 💚

Shout out to Pathlight Ltd who provided our training.

Each week, we select 'a champion of support, inclusion and the true spirit of MHF'. 🏆⚽🗣️

Friday's recipient of the Spirit of MHF Award was Westy. He has been coming to MHF for a while and he has grown into a welcoming and supportive teammate. 👏

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

[Rochdale Samaritans @roch_samaritans]

Reminder: Your words are powerful.

If someone doesn’t look OK, starting a conversation could save their life. #SmallTalkSavesLives

🌟 The start of a new year can feel exciting, but it can also feel heavy.

💚 You don’t need resolutions or big plans - recognising how far you’ve come is enough.

📞 If you’re struggling, call free on 116 123. We’re here to listen, day and night.

#NewYearsDay #2026

[Macclesfield Samaritans @MaccSamaritans]

The New Year can stir up all kinds of complicated feelings, especially if you’re already having a hard time.

Add in the pressure to celebrate, it can all just feel like too much.

If you find this a hard time of year, you're not on your own we’ll be here all night long 💚

[Sheffield Samaritans @SheffieldSams]

Sometimes all the extra pressure online and offline at this time of year makes things feel even heavier, especially if you’re already having a tough time. We’re here if you need us.
