Havering Samaritans
People: Improving people’s mental wellbeing
We will use the funds to provide signposting literature during outreach campaigns in the community to highlight we are there to provide support to anyone who needs to talk to us in moments of despair.
About this cause
Samaritans are here to provide listening support for anyone struggling to cope – day or night, 365 days a year. We take action to prevent people from reaching crisis point, helping people find ways to cope and learn the skills to be there for others. And we encourage, promote, and celebrate those moments of connection between people that can save lives.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Our outreach volunteers, who are all local, will carry out an extensive outreach programme in Romford giving talks and presentations to various community groups, schools, and businesses. We will use signposting literature to make local people aware of how Samaritans can support anyone struggling, and guidance on how to look after their own mental and emotional wellbeing.
