I am pushing myself well outside of my comfort zone to complete the O2 Sunset Climb with my fantastic colleagues to raise money for the worthy Samaritans charity. Life can be impossibly hard and it is important that we consider those around us and provide a safe space for speaking openly.

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. 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. 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.
