November 9th, 2021Meet Worthing Samaritans at the train station!
Worthing Samaritans will be at Worthing Railway Station on Monday 29th November. They plan to use the event to raise awareness of Worthing Samaritans and the service they provide, as a round the clock “listening ear” for anyone who needs to talk.A small team of Worthing Samaritans volunteers will be there to chat to members of the public about the work of Samaritans, and to take time to listen. Worthing Samaritans said: “We know that these events are really appreciated by rail staff and members of the public. They can generate fantastic conversations and we’re happy to offer emotional support if requested. These events also help rail staff to feel supported, and let them know that they can contact Samaritans themselves, as well as signposting rail users who may be struggling.”
The team will be there from 7 am – 9.30 am on Monday 29th November.
Anyone needing Samaritans can call us, free, 24/7, 365 days a year, on 116 123, or email jo@samaritans.org. You can also write to FREEPOST SAMARITANS LETTERS.

Worthing Samaritans appeals for shop volunteers
Worthing Samaritans urgently needs volunteers to help in its charity shop in Durrington. Income from the shop covers the running costs of Worthing Samaritans, but volunteer shop workers are hard to find, and as a result the shop cannot open as much as it would like.Shop Manager Jo says “Since COVID it’s become difficult to recruit and retain volunteers, which is frustrating because we would like to open more hours, but just don’t have the staff. We’re conscious of how much the work of Worthing Samaritans depends on the shop, and we would really love to have more help. Our volunteers find it really fulfilling working in the shop. You meet new people every day, use your skills, and know that every penny from items you sell goes towards the life-saving work of Worthing Samaritans.”
