If you have ever considered volunteering for Samaritans, you can find out more at the information sessions organised by the Isle of Man branch in early September.
Every six seconds Samaritans receives a call for help, and you could be there to listen to someone who needs vital support.
Samaritans offers confidential and judgement-free support to callers. Thanks to the hard working volunteers, or ‘Sams’, there is always someone there to listen.
To find out more about volunteering and meet current volunteers come along to one of the information sessions which all start at 7pm with the exception of the session on 3 September which starts at 2pm.
Dates and locations are:
• 1st and 3rd September – Samaritans office, 5 Victoria Place, Douglas
• 5th September – Civic Centre, Castletown
• 6th September – St Catherine’s Church Hall, Church Road, Port Erin
• 7th September – St Patrick’s Isle suite, House of Manannan, Peel
• 8th September – Ramsey Town Hall.
Sinead Nudd, Samaritans Recruitment Deputy, said: ‘We welcome anyone interested in volunteering to join us at the information sessions, ask as many questions as you like, and meet some of our current team. If you are unable to attend the information sessions but would like more information, please feel free to send us an email.
‘There’s no commitment if you come and meet us, it’s just a chance to find out how you could make a difference. We don’t ask for any specific “experience”, our volunteers are provided full training so we are well equipped when on duty.’
