North London Samaritans

We had the best time celebrating our 50th birthday recently 🥳 Our North London branch of @samaritans was established in 1974! To celebrate, some of our volunteers even put on their favourite 70s outfits 🕺

Reminder: No matter what you’re going through, you don’t have to face it alone 💚 Mental Health Awareness Week may be ending, but that doesn't mean the conversations should be. We’re here, every minute of every day, if you need someone to listen. ☎ #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Good luck to everyone taking on the Hackney Half Marathon today! We think you're real life superheros and will be cheering you on, every step of the way 👏 @HackneyMoves @Samaritans

Some gentle reminders for anyone who might need them 💚 We’re here for you, 24/7. Call free on 116 123. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

When we’re feeling really low, it can be hard to reach out to others, but that’s often when we need support the most. This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, check in on someone and remind them they’re not alone. We're always here if you need us. ☎ 116 123

Wow, what a day! 👏 300 Team Samaritans runners took on @LondonMarathon, raising money to help us be there 24/7 for the people who need us. Whether you ran, cheered or donated, you helped make today unforgettable! We can't thank you all enough 💚

This World Poetry Day, @HussainManawer shares 'The Words You Carry'. A powerful new poem, written for our Small Talk Saves Lives campaign, reminding us that we all have the power to make a difference through our words. Listen and share💚 #SmallTalkSavesLives #WorldPoetryDay

Small Talk Saves Lives: this is the message our volunteers spread at #Hackney Central station this week. Pictured here with Hackney MP Dame @Meg_HillierMP. 💚 If you see a stranger who seems out of sorts, could you start a conversation with them? #SmallTalkSavesLives
