Not everyone will be feeling festive this season, and every 10 seconds, Samaritans volunteers respond to a call for help. Samaritans are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to listen and support people with whatever they are facing, with no judgement.

Consider donating to our festive fundraiser when taking part in this year's Conscious Advent Calendar, so Samaritans can continue to provide life-saving support to people finding this time of year difficult.

If you need some extra support this festive season, reach out to Samaritans or have a look at their resources.

Here are some tips on staying grounded this festive season: https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/if-youre-having-difficult-time/staying-grounded-mindful-this-christmas-festive-season/
