"The Samaritans" (Barnsley Branch) 77 Pitt St. Barnsley.

SAMARITANS-

ORDINARY PEOPLE DOING EXTRA-ORDINARY THINGS

What single word comes to mind when we think of Samaritans? SUICIDE!

Today this is a long way from the truth. Would you believe that only a small percentage of calls are from suicidal people? The vast majority are from individuals faced with problems and dilemmas which at one time or other are beyond their control. Marital difficulties, loneliness, money worries, health problems, addiction, business pressures and depression are just some of the issues facing our callers.
Our volunteers in Barnsley have been listening to such problems for over thirty-three years, day and night three hundred and sixty five days a year.

LAST YEAR ALONE WE TOOK 7565 CALLS
Barnsley Samaritans are now in crisis.
It costs roughly £1200 per month to run our branch. Our branch is a registered charity. We receive NO government funding, NO national support and are solely responsible for our survival.
The Barnsley Centre cannot survive unless there is a dramatic increase in donations. Imagine no local non-judgemental organisation to listen to those in need.

TO LOSE BARNSLEY SAMARITANS WOULD BE SUICIDAL.
