Sorry if I'm bragging. I applied to volunteer for the Samaritans. Today I received an email saying I have been invited to attend a meeting. This is a good start for me! I'm so happy! I would love to help people. I know where it is. It's local in my area. It's all good

Well, it's a helpline to help people who need to talk or they might feel suicidal. Basically a mental health helpline.

Sure is great

That is awesome. Remember to look after yourself too as I'm sure it can be very draining. Good luck!

Good for you. I volunteer on a telephone support line, and while I find it challenging, I also find it very rewarding.
