Samaritans Awareness Day is on the 24th July! This week we’ll be sharing facts and busting myths about Samaritans, and we’d love you to join in too. We challenge you to tell one person something new you’ve learned about the Samaritans’s! Let’s build awareness together 💚

Father’s Day is tomorrow 💚 Tomorrow can also bring difficult or mixed emotions. Social media can sometimes make those feelings feel even heavier, so it’s okay to step away and take some time for yourself. If you need someone to talk to, Samaritans are here 24/7 on 116 123.

It’s #FreshVeggiesDay 🥬🫜🧅🥕🥦 Taking care of ourselves can include the small things too, like adding fresh vegetables to our meals 💚 What fresh vegetables will you work into your diet today?

Festivals can be incredible, but they can also feel overwhelming. For over 50 years, Festival Samaritans have provided listening support for festival-goers, crew, artists and volunteers across the UK. To continue this work, we need your support. 💚 samaritanscommunity.enthuse.com/cf/keep-festiv…
