quallty and conslstent servlce to our callers.
Deputy Dlrectors have re5ponslblllty for areas such as fundralsing, publicity, the prlson Ilstenlng servlce,
volunteer support and rota management. Durlng the year we have been successlul In appolnting
volunteers Into a nurnber of vacant deputy dlrector roles, thls has been a slgnlficant mllestone for the
charity and places It on a more sustalnable footing for the future, It is however critlcal that appropriate
attentlon Is now focused tsn succession planning for these roles to ensure that the charlty can contlnue Its
operations when the￿ Is attrltion In these roles. Wolverhampton Samarltans has had a presence In
Wolverhampton slnce 1980, and we have been at our current headquarters slnce 1984. One of our key
prlorlties over the flnanclal year land the precedlng financlal year) has been to Invest In our agelng
premlses and facilities, to ensure they remaln fit-for-purpose and provide our volunteers wlth the right
environment and equlpment, as well as provldlng the best volu nteerlng experlence possible.
Durlng thls year, the cornmltment and profes51onallsm of our volunteers was recognlsed by the charlty
being awarded the Klngs Award for Voluntary Servlce
thls Is the equlvalent of an M8E for charitable
organlsatlons, and thls was a landmark achlevement for the charlty. We are Immensely proud to have
recelved thls award whlch formally recognises our team of amazing volunteers who glve thelr tlme freely
to be there to support our callets.
The charlty has also been selected as one of the Mayor of Wolverhampton's charlties of the year for 2024,
we are immensely grateful for the Mayor's support. The charlty's selectlon recognlses the contrlbution Its
volunteers make to the Clty of Wolverhampton as well as to our callers on a local and natlonal level. As
one of the Mayor's selected charities, Wolverhampton Samaritans will benefit from a proportlon of the
funds ralsed through the Mayor of Wolverhampton's Charitable Fund during 2024.
At the end of the year, the charity had 56 volunteers a drop of 4 volunteers16.60/tsl vs 22123 as a result
we handled fewer calls, during the year we answered 4,75 1 calls vs 6,736 in 22123, this was a signiflcant
drop of 1,985 calls 129010) - however thls can be attrlbuted to lower volunteer numbers and the branch

TRUSTEES REPORT
Our last AGM was held on September 23rd 2023, and was well attended by 15 volunteers from the d)arlty
people as well as the charlty's regional director. This year's AGM will be held on September 3Clth 2024.
Our Ilstenlng volLsnteers continue to provlde our core service which is to respond to contart from people
who are In emotional despalr or distress. Thls can be due to relationship breakdown, debt, addlction,
loneliness, self-harm, mental health Issues and the added pressures of the cost-of-living crlsis and
aftereffects of COVIO. Caller5 may also be experienclng sulcidal thoughts. A key objective of the charity Is
that fewer people dle by sulcide. Samaritans believe that giving emotlonal support to our caller5 by
Ilstenlng and empathising wlth them can reduce feellngs of emotlonal dlstress and sulclde. Callers can
contart us vla our telephone helpline or via our online chat facllity.
Our volunteers work in shift pattern5 and attend shifts spread across the day and nlght. Many of our
volunteers are in full-tlme empltsyment or education and carry out their volunteer duties in their free tlme.
Our volunteers are supported by shift leader5 who they de-brief at the end of a shift. Our Deputy Dlrector
for Volunteer Wellbeing also supports volunteers through regular well-being meetings. Our Safeguarding
Pollcy is tontinually reviewed and updated, and all our volunteers are aware of their responslbllltles when
dealing wlth vulnerable adults and children.

Wolverhampton Samarltans
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Cont'd)
For the year ended 31 March 2024
The Central Samaritans Charity, wlth which Wolverhampton Samaritans is affiliated, has developed a call
quality monltorlng framework to ensure that ou r callers receive the best response possible servlce when
they contart us in emotional dlstress. We have moved away from Individual Samaritans branches
responding to emalls and the central charity has now established a centralised hub to respond to emalls
from callers. This hub is resourced by experienced volunteers wlth hlghly developed competencies in
respondlng to caller ernalls and is deslgned to ensure quallty, conslstent responses to those indivlduals
who prefer to contact Samarltans using this channel.
VOLUNTEERS
Our volunteers are our most vital asset, and the board of tmstees would Ilke to express thelr thanks, to
them for glvlng thelr tSme freely - In roles ranglng from listenlng to volunteers to deputy dbrectors and
supportlng actlvitles such as management and admlnistration, recrultment, tralnlng, mentorlngi shlft
leader5hlp, fundralslngi prison support and outreach. It Is thrgugh thelr tlme and commltment that we are
able lo be here for anyone struggllng to cope.
Durbng the year volunteer attrition was much lower compared wlth the prevlous year and we were
successful In recruStlng a number of new volunteers Into the organlsation. Desplte this, our volunteer
numbers dld reduce sllghtly compared wlth 22123 - from 60 to 56 volunteers - a drop of 4 volunteers or
6.6Q/o.
We do have a strong plpellne of new volunteers wlth a number of new Samarltans already in tra5nlng and
the leadershlp team have plans to Increase volunteer numbers durin9 24125 by recrultlng three new
cohorts of volunteers.
On-boardlng new Samarltans Is a slgnlflcant undertaklng for the charlty- a5 all new volunteers have to go
through comprehenslve tralnlng and mentorlng iri order to be able to support our callers. During 24125 we
expect to be less rellant on the Samaritans Tralnlng School Iprovlded by the Samarltans Central Charltyl
thls Is due to us being successful in appolntlng two new co-deputy directors for training as of Aprll 2024.
Our Internal tralnlng team will work In partnership wlth the central tralnlng school to traln our new
voltjnteers
with trdlnlng belng dellvered both In-person and remotely.
The board a￿ eommltted to maklng volunteerlng at Wolverhampton Samarltans a rewardlng experlence,
durtng the year we contlnued to increase our focus on equity, diverslty and Inclusion
partlcularly by
addresslng accessiblllty Issues wlthln the premises as part of our refurbishment programme and ensurlng
all vacant roles are advertlsed and open to all of our volunteers, we are actively encouraging more
diverslty In our leadershlp team.
The board Is commltted to the well-being of our volunteers and has recently undertaken a comprehenslve
volunteer engagement survey to galn Inslghts into our volunteers, experience with Wolverhampton
Samaritans. The feedback recelved through thls survey was extremely posltive with high approval ratln95
for the leadership team and a hlgh level of volunteer satisfactlon, however, the suNey dld Identify several
area5 where iTnprovements could be made, and the board of trustees are commltted to actlng on this
valuhble feedback to further improve our volunteer offer and experlence.
We contlnued to make sbgniflcant Investment In our premises and technology during the year- to ensure
our volunteers have acce55 to a clean, safe and secure envlronment and the facllltles they need to be there
to support our callers.
We have also Introduced more flexlbility In the way volunteers give their tlme by continuing to operate and
extend a points-based rota system.
We are committed to recognislng the contdbutions rllade by our volunteers and have Introduced
recognltlon for long service and we regularly organlse and subsldise a number of soclal artlvities and
events for our volunteers.

TRAINING
In 2Q)23 the charity was heavily dependent on the Samarltans Tralnlng School operated by the Central
Charlty - to be able to traln new volunteers- thls was due to the absence of a Deputy Dirertor for Tralnlng
and other key resources on our internal training team. The board of trustees would like to express Its

However, looklng forward to 2024125 more tralnlng wlll be delivered In-house, followlng appointment Into
key training role5. The Samaritans Tralnlng School wlll contlnue to play an important role In supplementlng

Training Sthool that the charity wlll be able to recnjlt and traln the new cohorts of volunteers.
Contlnuous tralnSng Is Important for all exlsting volunteers and there Is a range of onllne tralnlng modules
whlch they can access as they seek to develop thelr own skllls. There is an expectation that each volunteer

when On-Golng Tralnlng modules May be mandated by the Central Samarltans Charlty.
