The authors and readers of the Indie Horror Chapter will be raising money in aid of Weston Super Mare and North Somerset Samaritans at Chapter 3: Weston Horror Book Con on 6 September 2025.

This is a charity very close to our hearts. One of our attending authors is a volunteer for Samaritans and gives her time freely to offer support to those struggling; another a former mental health nurse who continues to work tirelessly to bring mental health awareness to the horror community. Indie Horror Chapter are proud to join the thousands of #TeamSamaritans across the UK and to support the local community.

Every 10 seconds Samaritans respond to a call for help. Every £10 raised has the power to answer a call that could save a life.
