SAMARITANS OF WALSALL AND DISTRICT
|
|
|
|
Since the Walsall & District Branch started in 1969, Samaritans has continued to develop with the changing times, yet many of the basics remain. We realised early on the value of ordinary people listening to others at times of emotional distress - that's still what we do.
For nearly 40 years, Samaritans has been there for people in Walsall and the surrounding towns. The branch is staffed entirely by trained volunteers, and has to raise its own funds to cover running costs. It was founded in November 1969 - the 100th branch in the country to open - and some of the original volunteers are still active members.
Walsall & District branch is one of the 202 branches, all registered charities, which are part of Samaritans in the British Isles. We all share the same vision and values. To find out more about Samaritans as a nationwide organization, its history and the beliefs and aims that guide our work, or for details of other branches, please go to www.samaritans.org where you can
- Find out about Samaritans, who we are, what happens when you contact us
- Find out how you can support the people around you
- Support and advice to help you spot someone at risk of suicide, and what to do about it, or helpful advice on coping if someone you know has died by suicide
Why do we need money?
Although Samaritans is a household name and a major national charity, the fact is that the organization relies on donations for 96% of its funding. In common with all Samaritans branches, Walsall & District branch has to raise its own funds.
We simply wouldn't exist without donations from people like you. There are the costs of running our centre and the telephone bills. There's also the cost of publicity to make sure anyone in the local community knows how to contact us, and the cost of recruiting and training volunteers. Only with your support can Samaritans be there every day for the people who live around you. So please give as much as you can to help us be there when we're needed.
How much do we need?
We need an absolute minimum of £16,000 a year to maintain our basic service. Currently it costs nearly £55 a day* to run Samaritans for the Walsall area - all that money has to be raised locally. It is getting harder and harder to raise the money we need to survive and any contribution you make will be gratefully received. Could you, your company or society sponsor us for a day...a week...a month? Please visit www.walsallsamaritans.org.uk to find out how to donate. You will also find any other info about us there.
