We are using this retro gallery to promote the Samaritans in Sheffield and the brilliant work they do. Christmas is sadly the charity’s busiest time and after a year of lockdowns and restrictions more people than ever need help with mental health services, bereavement support, children and young people’s mental health services and general support.
Over the the years the community has come together to raise funds and look after the people who look after others.
If you need to get in touch with anyone at any time email [email protected] phone 116 123 (24hrs local call charges) or 116 123 (24hrs this number free to call), visit the webpage www.samaritans.org or the charity at 272 Queens Road, Sheffield, S2 4DL
