Wed 1 Jun, 11am to 5pm
Welcome to Reading Samaritans
Join us at Reading Town Hall on 1 June where we will be hosting a special open day to show you more about the work Samaritans does to help support people and how you can get involved. Find out more about;
- How we support people struggling with their emotional and mental health and those at risk of suicide
- Tips on how to become a better listener
- Our community outreach projects and activities in the town
- How you can get involved to raise awareness and support your local branch
- How to become a Samaritans listener or support volunteer
- Partnership opportunities for schools, community organisations and local businesses
Whether you are interested in becoming a volunteer or just want to find out more about what we do, everyone is welcome and we hope to see you there.
Venue
Please not our open day will take place at Reading Town Hall and not the local branch. The venue is fully accessible with level access into the building, toilets and cafe areas are located on the ground floor and there is lift access to The Victoria Hall on the first floor.
How to get here
On Foot from Reading Station
At the station, walk down the new concourse to the Heathrow Airbus exit and cross over the road to Blagrave Street, where you will see The Town Hall on the left.
By Car
From the M4, leave the motorway at Junction 11 and head onto the A33 into Reading town centre. Follow signs to the train station and turn into Blagrave Street, which is opposite the Reading Airbus terminal at the station's side entrance.

"I know how powerful the act of listening with empathy and without judging can be"
