In this powerful episode, we sit down with Rachel Howley, Development Manager at The Samaritans of Liverpool and Merseyside, to explore the incredible, life-changing work carried out by this vital charity.
The Samaritans are dedicated to preventing suicide through the power of human connection. Their trained volunteers offer a lifeline to those in crisis — always listening, never judging. Whether it’s:
· For people calling for change with those who need to listen.
· With people who’ve been there before, with those struggling now.
· Providing a safe space in uncertain times.
Every 10 seconds, The Samaritans answer a call for help. Day and night, 365 days a year, their volunteers from all walks of life offer empathy and understanding.
Beyond the phone lines, The Samaritans campaign tirelessly to raise awareness, influence change, and build partnerships that support suicide prevention across the UK.
Tune in to hear how this extraordinary organisation makes a difference — and how you can support their mission.
