Community Programmes

Samaritans are a range of people who believe in people, are emotionally resilient, and are ready to lend a listening ear to anyone in distress. Your providing of a safe space in a confidential and non-judgemental manner can be the difference between life and death, for someone who may have no one else to turn to.

With an increase seen in both the number of individuals in distress as well as those reaching out for support, the need for an inspired array of volunteers is crucial now more than ever. By joining us as a volunteer, you’ll be providing anonymous emotional support to anyone who may be in need of a listening ear – be it an elderly client suffering in isolation, a student struggling with school, or anyone facing a form of crisis.
