All: be careful, this scammer contacted me this weekend, thankfully a few good Samaritans warned me.
PSA, don't trust @emily-jack.bsky.social . Their original account @emily-jackson.bsky.social was suspended due to scamming.

They "don't use AI" but they sure as hell steal others' work. Their portfolio is way too suspicious AND I came across this.

Good thing I checked.

Remembering the time my friend got a kitten, and it cried so much the first night that she rang the Samaritans…
True story
November 8, 2026 at 5:04 PM
8 November 2007. Anglican cleric Chad Varah died (aged 95). He founded The Samaritans help line to help people contemplating suicide. He answered the 1st call made to the brand new helpline. A person whose life made a real difference to preserving the lives of others.

I started volunteering at the Samaritans when I was 18 & although I no longer do have since worked in the caring & voluntary sector for more than 2 decades. In that time, I've seen successive govts gut the provision of social & statutory care & and an increase in the average of age of volunteers

That Samaritans story from Justine is bonkers. To even *consider* work from home for Samaritans volunteers would seem like one of the absolute stupidest ideas in the history of anything.

This is just the kicker on any Samaritans' Purse press release.

This is so very sad. And worth putting this into a wider context. The Samaritans is so important partly because there simply isn't enough mental health support beyond them. Wider mental health services need fixing asap!

Just to clarify because I realised my grammar here is ambiguous ; I was inpatient around 8 years ago, and the Samaritans phone call was last week /info
CW psychiatric care grief medical neglect abuse

I had a brilliant long chat with a Samaritans volunteer about my psychiatric inpatient stay last week. I'm happy I'm at a place in my healing journey where I can talk about the good and the bad experiences and give space to both of these things.

"you've got to move customer contacts onto low-touch routes wherever possible to maintain service quality" is almost certainly as true for the Samaritans as it is for any customer service operation, but good lord I wouldn't want to be the person selling it

Since The #Samaritans are in the news can I say thanks to the people from there I talked to while in terrible physical pain and mental distress in 2011. When my world was constant agony and I couldn't see beyond that they talked me out of doing something daft. I pay tribute to those who do that.

All these good Samaritans needed for all the stuff we leave.
November 6, 2026 at 7:19 PM
The Samaritans can't even keep the lights on but yeah, Britons just have it too good and we need to do turbo-austerity because General Hapablap said so on Good Morning Britain.
November 10, 2026 at 9:25 AM
To an extent it was every thus - but there is a huge challenge with modernisation and moving to different modes of volunteering.

We're seeing a shift towards people prefering less formal, tied approaches of volunteering which is difficult for set services like Samaritans.
