Festival Branch of Samaritans

👀 Our @FestivalSams volunteers have been following the @FerociousDogs tour for the last couple of weeks, raising money to help us keep showing up and supporting folk at festivals and events this summer and beyond. It's a great opportunity for us, appreciate the love! 🙏💚

And that's a wrap on our 2025 season. ​A massive thank you to our incredible volunteers for their dedication, rain or shine. And to @OfficialRandL, all the festivals, and everyone who stopped by to talk: it's a privilege to listen. ​Until next year. 💚

@Jord576 @samaritans @FRfestivals Ah thank you Jordan, one of our team took this as they walked back to base, seeing the sunrise after a long night shift is a real joy! 💚

@festivalsams @samaritans @FRfestivals What a fantastic photo! The concept behind Samaritans being at Festivals, and being present, is absolutely amazing! Thank you for supporting those who may need it. Incredible work. 😊

Good morning, #RandL25 The sun is up on the final day If you're waking up feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just need a quiet moment before the music starts, our volunteers are here for you. Our tent is a safe space to talk. ​💚

This is Janet. Janet fractured her hand at #RandL25 this weekend... ​Janet is still on her volunteer shift! ​A massive shout-out to our incredible volunteers and the brilliant @OfficialRandL medical & site teams who make everything possible True dedication in action 💪 💚

Reading '83 👉 Reading '25. ​Were you in this crowd? Today, your kids might be. Our volunteers are on site at @OfficialRandL, offering the same confidential, non-judgemental support we offered you. ​Still here. Still listening 💚 ​#ThrowbackThursday

Looking forward to popping up at 'BuzzFest' by Baloney Theatre Company at the Wanstead Fringe, Sep 16-21! ​This dark comedy on festival escapism touches on themes at the core of our volunteers' work. Vital conversations to have! 💚​wansteadfringe.org/series/buzzfes…

And we are here! 👋 Our tents are up at both @OfficialRandL, and our volunteers are ready as the first festival-goers arrive. If you need a quiet moment or a safe space to talk, we're here to listen. Come and say hello! 💚 #readingfestival #LeedsFestival #ItsOkToNotBeOk

Festival Samaritans working at Infest Manchester yesterday were delighted when the headliner lit the stage in our colour!

Our teams are still working hard at @BLOODSTOCKFEST & @BoomtownFair and will be here until the small hours of Monday morning if you need us. We know that feeling of packing up and going back to 'real life' can be hard, talk it through before you go. 💚 #HereForItAll #samaritans

Morning, #Boomtown & #Bloodstock. That fragile Sunday feeling is real. Running on empty? That's okay. Go gently today, there's still fun to be had. Need a quiet space to recharge? We're here. Look for the green tent. 💚 #BOA2025 #Boomtown2025

Filmmakers Isaac and Abby have joined our team at @BLOODSTOCKFEST. They've been asking festival goers about what it means to them to have @samaritans on site. #smalltalksaveslives 💚
