Galway Samaritans Open Meeting
8.00pm Monday 11th September — Croí House, Moyola Lane, Newcastle, Galway H91 FF68
Galway Samaritans are looking for new volunteers to keep their vital listening service running.
By volunteering for a few hours a week, you could help change someone’s life forever.
No previous experience or qualifications required, but you will need to be non-judgemental and accepting of others. It doesn’t necessarily matter if you’ve gone through difficult times yourself, what matters is that you want to help people – all kinds of people, from all walks of life.
You will be supported every step of the way. Samaritans are here for callers and for each other too. You’ll be welcomed into a warm and incredibly supportive environment.
● You’ll have an interview so we can get to know each other and find a role that suits you.
● Volunteers are asked to attend an induction. It’s a great chance to learn more about Samaritans and your role as a volunteer.
● Listening volunteers will complete full Samaritans training so you know what to say and do when people reach out for help.
● Everyone gets ongoing support from a network of fellow volunteers.
If you are interested in volunteering with Galway Samaritans, please come to our Open Meeting on Monday 11thFebruary at 8.00pm.
