We know Christmas time can be a tough for many people and this year has been a tough year for a lot more people with added pressures we never planned for. But how ever bad things get there is always someone to listen to you.
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.
