Clare Moriarty, our Chief Executive, and Tom MacInnes, our Data Analyst will be analysing the latest frontline data and looking at what tools are available to fix the cost-of-living crisis to stop people living on empty. Guest speakers will be announced shortly.

Do you have a few hours to spare each week? Volunteer with us and, as a Samaritan volunteer, you’ll be there for people when it matters most.

The South Wales Valleys hub of Samaritans is based in Merthyr for phone shifts, but carry out outreach activities, aimed at raising awareness, all over the South Wales Valleys. There are lots of ways you can volunteer for Samaritans, it all depends on your strengths, the areas you’re interested in, and how much time you’ve got to give.
