Dublin Samaritans

Shout out to the trainers as we extend a warm welcome to our newest Dublin Samaritans volunteers.

Over the last number of weeks, they have been taking part in training sessions designed to prepare them for the role of listening volunteer.

They have learned active listings skills and honed their ability to be open, non judgemental and empathetic.

Each new volunteer will be paired with an experienced mentor who will offer guidance, encouragement, and support during their first duties.

At Samaritans, no listener is ever on their own. There is always time and space to talk through difficult calls, ask questions, and support one another.

We’re so grateful to everyone who has chosen to give their time to help others feel heard.

📞116 123💚

Behind every call to 116 123 is one of our amazing volunteers.

Every day heroes who give their time, compassion and an empathic listening ear to those in need.

They listen without judgement. They never offer advice. They park their own issues, pause their day and ditch their to-do lists to show up and make a difference in strangers lives.

To each of the 300 Dublin Samaritans volunteers - we simply couldn’t do this without you. 💚 Thank you to our incredible volunteers.
