Samaritans: they are contactable by telephone and email, and are available 24 hours a day. They offer anonymous support and are predominantly a listening service, giving benefit by allowing people to talk. A 24/7 helpline service which gives you a safe space where you can talk about what is happening, how you are feeling, and how to find your own way forward. Samaritans volunteers are ordinary people from all walks of life who understand that there are sometimes things that you just cannot talk about to the people around you. They know that very often,with some time and space, people are able to find their own solution within themselves.
