Robyn&Chris Skydive

On the 24th August, Robyn and Chris will both be taking part in a tandem skydive in Shropshire.
They will be raising money for Walsall and District Samaritans.
Our goal is to raise £1000!

Samaritans are an organisation that we feel provide an incredibly important service to people. None of us are immune to low self-esteem, depression, loneliness etc. And it is likely everyone knows at least one person who is effected by these issues. We want to help the Samaritans continue their mission to provide support to anyone in the UK, no matter how big or small a person feels their problems are.

Walsall and District Samaritans provide emotional support for people who find themselves struggling with a variety of issues. The team of unpaid volunteers, provide telephone, email and text support and outreach support to schools, prisons and at other locations such as Walsall Railway Station.

"Our aim is to reduce death by suicide, but at a time when more and more people are struggling to cope, (with metal health, drug, alcohol, gambling addictions and various emotional problems), our service provides essential support at a time of crisis."

"We receive no central funding, and we aim to raise £15,000 per year to enable us to keep our branch open seven days a week, through the day and night. The service is manned entirely by volunteers who give their time freely to support the community, and also undertake various fund raising activities to keep the branch open."
