Samaritan's Longest Night

Today I am supporting Samaritans' Longest Night Campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the challenges faced by individuals experiencing emotional distress, particularly during the long winter nights. Many people in our communities struggle with loneliness, isolation, and mental health issues, and the Christmas holidays can often amplify these feelings. The Longest Night Campaign is an opportunity to highlight these struggles and encourage people to reach out for support when they need it most.

Each year, Samaritans supports thousands of people through their helplines and volunteer-led services, providing a safe space for individuals in crisis. However, winter nights can be particularly difficult, and the Longest Night Campaign focuses on offering hope and support to those who may feel lost or alone.
