Hi, I'm Nick Taunt. I'm a branch director of Samaritans. We're based at Bognor, Regis,
00:07
but we cover the whole area of Bognor and Chichester and the district, although of course
00:12
we take calls from all over the country. This is Awareness Day. It's Wednesday the 24th of July,
00:18
the 24th day of the seventh month, 24-7, and it reminds everyone that we are open 24-7.
00:27
You can phone us at any time of day or night and a Samaritan will pick up the phone and
00:34
will listen to you, and we want to raise awareness of what we do. The purpose of Samaritans is to
00:43
reduce the number of people who take their own lives, and we try and do that by listening,
00:51
by encouraging people to listen to each other, but also by listening to people who phone us
00:57
because they're close to despair, and sometimes they will say things like,
01:02
I've never said this to anyone else, not my nearest or dearest, I'm too embarrassed,
01:08
but they can say it to us because the service we offer is confidential, it's non-judgmental,
01:15
it's anonymous, and we will listen.
