Volunteering Opportunities with Samaritans (Northampton Branch)

About

We're someone to talk to Simply having someone to talk to can help. Sharing your troubles with smeone who gives you time, attention and tries to see things from your point of view can be a relief and a comfort. In fact, just knowing someone is there in case you need them can make you feel better. Sometimes feelings become intense and overwhelming. You may feel that you're at breaking point. You could feel trapped; that there's no way out. When you're in crisis, talking to nus may help you to feel calmer and get through that moment. Talking through your difficulties or writing about them can help you sort through your thoughts and feelings and see what's important and what's not. By listening to you and helping you talk through your troubles, we may help you see things more clearly.
