Welcome to our fundraising page. The staff at Brantridge School voted to make Samaritans our charity of the year and pledged to raise £1,000 to support the vital work that they do.

Three key reasons influenced us:

1. 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.

2. Samaritans can save lives and they don't even take a salary so our donations will make a direct impact.

3. Many people find it hard to speak openly or ask for help, but talking can be life-saving – whether it’s with a colleague, a family member, friend or a helpline like Samaritans.

It’s the public’s kind donations and around 23,000 volunteers that mean Samaritans are always there for anyone struggling to cope.

Thank you for your help.
