Sometimes, we encounter customers with extraordinary tales to tell. Take David, who was walking through the Vale of Belvoir a few days ago and stopped by for a coffee and spot of lunch.
It turns out that walking is something David’s done a good deal of recently. He is a Samaritan and is close to completing The Listening Walk to raise funds for this life-changing – and saving – organisation. When done – and the finish line is now looming into sight – he’ll have walked 6,000 miles, and he’ll have visited all 201 branches of The Samaritans on foot.
Sometimes social media can seem relentlessly upbeat and positive but real life can be a little more challenging and there might be times in all of our lives when we’ll be glad of a friendly ear, some meaningful support, true understanding and helpful guidance. Isn’t it good to know that The Samaritans are always there, for moments like that?.
Please, if you can, donate to David via www.thelisteningwalk.co.uk – you can find out more about his journey there and you can track the last stages of his journey on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. A fiver covers the cost of a volunteer helping someone in need; £50 will train and support a new volunteer for a whole year…
And just in case, if things are getting to you, Samaritans are always there: call 116 123.
