‘Soul-destroying’: Samaritans volunteers blindsided by proposed closures
The article discusses the proposed closures of at least 100 Samaritans centers in the UK and Ireland, which has left the volunteers of the Walsall branch in limbo. The Walsall branch had been fundraising for nearly £300,000 to replace their aging portable cabin, which they have operated out of for the past 60 years. However, the proposed closures have left them uncertain about the future of their branch, despite their progress in raising funds for a new building. The article portrays the situation as "soul-destroying" for the volunteers, who have dedicated their time and effort to supporting their local community during times of crisis.
