Message from The Samaritans - Phone us day or night at 1 850 609090 or call in to see us, between 11am and 8:30pm at 112 Marlborough Street, Dublin 2, or write to us. It would be so wonderful if this, was a happy, joyful and peaceful time of the year for all people young and old. Sadly we in The Samaritans know that it may not be so. We know that there are those for whom Christmas and the New Year can be a very sad and lonely time. The pain of loss, isolation and the absence of love may be almost unbearable against a background of fun and festivity. To any person young or old who is troubled for whatever reason at this time, our message is, "There is a Samaritan Volunteer always there for you, who will be with you in your time of loneliness and despair".
