Samaritans volunteers in conversation - Barry and David

From Dublin to Belfast, Barry and David met up to discuss their Samaritans stories.

This year, we're celebrating 70 years of listening. Barry has been volunteering for half of that time! He shares his 35-year journey with David, who recently became a volunteer, following the loss of a friend.

After 70 years and more than 134 million calls for help, we’ll continue to be here, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for anyone who needs us.

Contact Samaritans free- day or night, 365 days a year.

Why no comments? Let’s start contributing to the discussion. I’m a newbie and finding being a Samaritan very rewarding. It’s a vital service provided by very caring people.
