President Higgins thanks Samaritans volunteers for making the difference between life and death

He said: “The impact of Covid-19 resulted in plans to mark this significant anniversary being curtailed. “However, I would like to give my deepest thanks, as President of Ireland, and on behalf of all the people of Ireland, to all the staff and volunteers in Dublin Samaritans and congratulate you on this milestone.” The helpline is open 365 days a year, including Christmas Day, and President Higgins acknowledged this importance as the festive period can be a difficult time for many. He noted that this year, in particular, has tested us all but has been particularly difficult for those vulnerable, those who lost loved ones, whose lives and livelihoods were impacted adversely by the pandemic and those who are experiencing loneliness and isolation.

Facing up to loneliness at the Samaritans

Facing up to loneliness at the Samaritans Updated / Friday, 18 Dec 2020 10:00 Prime Time The Waterford branch of the Samaritans, like 21 others on the island, is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  On the ground floor in the back, tea and coffee are on tap while volunteers man the phones in small open-sided booths facing a small kitchen and seating area. Just inside the front door is a room for drop-in callers who can enter and leave discreetly. Upstairs, the bedroom and shower facilities in use on the overnight shifts confirm that being a Samaritan involves real commitment, combined with total discretion.
