Are you interested in trying something new this summer? Why not try volunteering? We’re looking for more volunteers to join us at our Torquay Samaritans branch.

There are lots of ways you can get involved. You may like the idea of becoming a Listening Volunteer and being there for people who really need someone to talk to, or you might prefer to become a Support Volunteer and help with fundraising, marketing, or other behind‑the‑scenes tasks.

For more information, please email [email protected] or visit www.samaritans.org/support-us/volunteer/

Father’s Day on social media can feel like a flood of happy photos, and celebrations of family. But we know for so many of you that today can be a reminder of loss, longing, or complicated and painful feelings.

There's so many reasons why today can be tough, many more than just what we’ve listed, and we want you to know that if you’re carrying any type of heavy feelings or ache today, you’re absolutely not alone, there are so many others who are feeling the weight of this day in their own ways. We’re always here for you if you need to talk on 116 123.
