We have increased the number of listening volunteers to 61. They were trained either within the branch or using
the online training provided by Samaritan's Central Office.
In the period between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025 we opened 1824 three-hour shifts requiring 3 volunteers
amounting to 7605 hours takin9 calls from people in distress. So we have increased the number of hours listening
by 917 from last year.
We also have 20 support staff who help to run our shop and organise fundraising events to enable us to run our
centre. The branch's financial position remains secure and we receive funds from a variety of sources so we are
not reliant on a single income source. These include collections outside local shops, football clubs and theatres.
We run swimalhons, fashion shows barn dances, tennis and golf tournaments. quizzes and 100 club. We have
also been lucky to have been given many donations from local businesses and obtained grants from local
