So, something a bit different today. Some of you may know that I am a listening volunteer for Samaritans. A service that listens and offers emotional support for those who are suffering from emotional distress. I have been doing so for about two years now, and it is truly a wonderful experience.
A friend of mine from the branch is currently training to run a marathon on the charity’s behalf, and I wanted to do a shout out for her. A marathon is no mean feat and to undertake such an endeavour on the behalf of those in need is admirable. I am not capable of doing such, but I can support her in other ways.
Her words on the subject:
‘As many of you will know I have been a listening volunteer with the Samaritans for over 2 years. The support we as a charity provide for people who are struggling with their mental health is critical. Please support me and my colleagues as I train for and run Edinburgh marathon 2024 in support of the Samaritans
