Directorfs Report
Hello friend5,
It gives me great pleasure to introduce this year's
annual report for Lewisham, Greenwich &
Southwark Somaritonl which marks my second year
os Director.
I'm not sure what else needs to be said about the
unprecedented times that this report covers. l am
proud that we remained open and there for our
callers during this time, while getting used to some slight changes to the
way we operote Iwho knew there wos so mvch to learn obout onti-
bacterial wipes?). We have also seen changes to our service including the
retirement of our SMS service ond the introduction of Link, ond while
these hoven't been the easiest of transitions, they have lea to overall
improvements to ovr service - I would highlight the onnual statistics over
the page which suggest that while we have answered fewer calls this
year compared to last, we have spent more time on the phone to our
collers.
As we enter the third year of the pandemic there is still work for us to do
as a bronch - for ovr volunteers and our collers. I will use the remoinder
of my time as Director to address some of these challenges and I hope
you will join me.
I'm sorry not to be able to deliver this report to you in person, please
know that you hove my thanks.
I would olso like to give a specif ic thank you to our supporters, who
generously donote to our branch - either directly through financial
support, or through benefit in kind support.

SAMARITANS
On 30 November 2021, our Network Rail Partnership team provided our
first planned outreach session ot a train station since Febrvory 2020. The
event was held ot New Cross Gate station, near our branch. Five of us
took part, Using the format outlined above. After each event we compile
a summary of our interactions with staff and passengers, with stats on
quantities of Samaritans, contact cards and other resource5 handed out
e.g. logo'd pens Imuch appreciated by young children} and our travel
card wallets. (r Outreach Manager, Nathan and I have set five dates
for monthly sessions from February to lune 2021. Those dates are on
3Rings now. We will have just 2 to 3 weeks notice of the individual
locations- I will email updates and details.
In the present climate it may be that there are changes to Brew Monday
plans. I last heard from Samaritans, Regional Development Lead on 23
December that Brew Mondoywill go oheod unless government guidelines
prohibit public events taking place, and actually re-introduce lock-down
measvres. If it does then Lewishom, Greenwich & Sovthwork Samaritans
will be invited to sign up to toke port dvring the ofternoon of17
january. To be confirmed,
If you're interested in taking part in our National Roil work, please do get
in tovch.
