My Personal Message

Hi All,

Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page.

Over the past few weeks, I have dyed my hair PINK, PURPLE and then BLONDE for the Irish Cancer Society.

I am now going to shave it ALL OFF for the Samaritans.

The Samaritans Ireland charity is a very worthy cause and I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for this charity.

Many thanks in advance for your support,

Aidan

About my charity

Samaritans Ireland

Samaritans is a charity which provides completely confidential emotional support 24 hours a day by telephone, email, face to face, SMS and letter.  Samaritans believe that being listened to in confidence, without fear of being judged can alleviate feelings of distress, including those which may lead to suicide.

Samaritans vision is that fewer people die by suicide, we work to achieve this by making it our mission to alleviate emotional distress and reduce the incidence of suicidal feelings and suicidal behaviour.

There are over 2,000 Samaritans volunteers in Ireland and twenty Samaritans branches across the island of Ireland.  Although we are best known for our 24 hour telephone help lines, Samaritans work in schools, prisons and the workplace. Samaritans also and have a range of outreach services including ‘Feet on the Street’ and ‘Festival Branch’ where volunteers are out on the streets and at festivals, concerts and gatherings offering 24 hour emotional support, face to face.

Each year, Samaritans national awareness day 24:7, takes place on 24th July.  Samaritans branches host a range of events and activities to raise funds to help maintain the vital 24 hour helpline services. In 2009, celebrated Irish designer, Richard Lewis has created a pin to help raise funds for Samaritans.  Please buy a pin to support the work of Samaritans in Ireland or make a donation.   Thank you.
