VOLUNTEER
New volunteers are always welcome at Cheltenham Samaritans as the number of callers grows and the means of communicating with them expands to include emailing and texting. As well as needing 'listening volunteers' who will be able to support our callers we also need 'support volunteers' to assist with our fundraising efforts and help us to raise our profile.
Listening volunteers receive excellent training to enable them to develop their existing skills as well as learn some useful new ones.
Support volunteers are also essential to our service because they provide much needed help in raising funds, promoting the work of Samaritans and carrying out administrative tasks. All skills are welcome and the amount of time you contribute as a non listening volunteer is as little or as much as you want to give.
Whichever type of volunteer you become you will:
- be supporting those who need Samaritans
- be doing something worthwhile
- make new friends.
