Bonfire Night is often associated with excitement, warmth, and coming together with family, friends, and the community, but it can also be a difficult time for people who feel lonely, overwhelmed, or emotionally struggling, as they face their own darkness behind closed doors while the sky lights up for others.

This Bonfire Night, look out for others, check in with them, offer a kind word, or take time to listen; it can make a real difference for those who are struggling.

Every new volunteer helps us move closer to our vision of ensuring that no one has to face their struggles alone. 💚

✨ Could you be our next volunteer and start the training in January (commitment is about 3 hours a week)?

You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t need to be an expert. Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is listen without judgement and offer someone the space to talk.

By volunteering with Samaritans, you can learn new skills, become part of a supportive team and make a real difference to people’s lives.

💚 If you have a little time, a willingness to listen and a desire to help others, we’d love to hear from you.

📩 Get in touch with Samaritans Northallerton Branch to find out more about volunteering and how you could become part of our team.

Small acts of listening can make a life-changing difference. Could you be the person someone needs? 💚

In support of World Mental Health Day today, our wonderful volunteers were present at Northallerton Station during the morning and afternoon, talking to commuters and staff and handing out leaflets and pens - loads of pens!

Had some lovely conversations with many who shared their lived experiences, challenges and struggles. If we helped to make a difference to just one person today it would have been worth it 💚💚

Remember, we are here for you 24-7/365 for anything at all on you mind. Call us free on 116 123. We will never judge or tell you what to do, but we will listen so you feel heard.

What a fabulous Dawn Walk this morning to mark World Mental Health Day! It was wonderful to see so many of you there, and Samaritans Northallerton and the Dales are so grateful to everyone for making this such a success so early on a Saturday morning! We had some lovely conversations, were SO lucky with the weather (despite the forecast), and enjoyed a superb view of the Northallerton countryside. We even had the bonus of being able to see the sunrise and enjoyed the company too of several 4-legged friends! We ended the walk at the branch where we enjoyed a cuppa and some cake!

We will definitely arrange further events as many of you requested this, so watch this space.

You are all amazing. Whether you enjoyed the walk today, baked some cakes for us or have supported us by liking this event, THANK YOU!

Remember, Samaritans are there for you, whatever you are going through, and you can call us free anytime on 116 123.

Also, if volunteering with us in Northallerton interests you, please do get in touch. We have many opportunities. You can find information on samaritans.org. Alternatively, get in touch with us directly at [email protected]

Would you like to join us for a dawn walk on Saturday 10th October which marks World Mental Health Day?

All are most welcome to attend. There are two walks planned - each about 5K long, and both setting off from Crosby Road Car Park, Northallerton. See the map attached. Walk 1 is a road walk with a steady ascent to point B, where we will meet the other walkers doing the circular walk. Point B is a great spot to take in the Northallerton countryside and, hopefully, the sunrise too! The circular walk is more field and off-road walking, so please bring suitable footwear as it may be a bit muddy and slippery.

Everyone is welcome!

Meeting place: Crosby Road Car Park, Northallerton DL6 1AA
Date: Saturday 10th October
Meeting time 06:00 for a 06:30 start (coffee & tea in the Samaritans branch will be served!)
Return to car park at 08:30
Coffee, tea and cake in the Samaritans branch until 09:00

If you don't wish to do the walk, you can still come for a cuppa at 08:30!
