Doug's present for Sheffield Samaritans

Dilys Candler is raising money for Sheffield Samaritans
Celebrating the birthday of Doug Candler

on 21 June 2009

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Samaritans is available 24 hours a day to provide confidential, non-judgmental, emotional support to anyone experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those which may lead to suicide. The Sheffield branch receives over 30,000 calls a year - by phone, e-mail or visit - and is entirely reliant on voluntary support

Story

I know it's hard to believe but I'll be 60 on September 19th.

I don't want any presents (unless you're a very close relative!) but I'd be very pleased if you'd like to make a donation to Sheffield Samaritans.

Samaritans do a great job - they will support anyone through an emotional crisis - suffering distress, despairing or feeling suicidal. If you've ever felt (or can imagine feeling) anything close to that then it's reassuring to know they are there 24 hours a day to listen to you or to answer your email.

Individual branches such as Sheffield are expected to raise the funds needed to rent/buy/maintain their local centre, pay their own bills, train volunteers and so on.

Do consider giving something - as little as you like or as much as you can afford.

Thanks

Doug
