Samaritans will be heading down to Rochdale Railway Station to mark Talk to Us, the charity’s annual awareness month, which runs throughout July.
On Thursday 24 July, volunteers from the charity will have a presence at Rochdale and 34 other railway stations across the North West and North East of England.
They will be raising awareness with commuters about the importance of talking, and Samaritans’ round the clock service, for anyone struggling to cope.
Samaritans answers more than five million calls a year from people of all ages, backgrounds and circumstances. The charity’s 21,200 volunteers deliver the service at 201 branches across the UK and Ireland.
People up and down the country can get involved by simply texting ‘SUPPORT’ to 70080 to make a £4 donation which is the cost to the charity of answering one call for help.
