Friends The Friends of Edinburgh and the Lothians Samaritans are a group who work hard in order to raise funds for the Branch. Without fundraising it would not be possible for Edinburgh & Lothians Samaritans to offer its support to those experiencing feelings of distress and those who experience suicidal thoughts. Every year the Friends manage a varied programme of events and this year was no exception. Some of the outstanding events were Pedal for Scotland when we were supported by several generous folk who between them raised around £2,000 of sponsorship. A big thank you goes out to them for this fantastic effort! We'll be doing it again next year so if you're interested in either helping with organising or fancy having a go then can you please drop us a line at friends@edinburghsamaritans.org Another regular event is our Grand Ceilidh. which was held in September at The Hilton, Grosvener Street, Edinburgh. The Hilton is very supportive of us and deserves a big thank you too. Our big annual event certainly gets those feet moving! . Have you ever thought of getting involved in organising or helping out at charity events ? It really is most rewarding and there is lots for everyone to do! To get involved in the work of the Friends e-mail friends@edinburghsamaritans.org or call 0131 221 9999 where one of the Samaritans on duty will arrange for someone to contact you.
