Please forward this email on to your friends, colleagues and family. You may be asked ‘why Samaritans?’:

1) We are the only support available in the UK 24/7, 365 days a year for those going through crisis, whether due to redundancy, debt or bereavement.

2) The economic situation means thousands more people are feeling the stress of unemployment, money worries and increased pressure. Your support now is more important than ever.

3) Samaritans helps people in your local community, people from your town, village or city. With 201 branches nationwide, a vote for Samaritans means the money you raise will help those local to you who are desperate for support.

4) A partnership with the Football League helps forge links locally with all Samaritans branches

5) Samaritans is run by 18,500 volunteers and Samaritans turnover is relatively small. Less than 2% of our income is government funded so we need your support today.

The voting closes on 8th December.

The other nominated charities are:
· Alzheimer's Society
· Breast Cancer Care
· British Heart Foundation
· Everyman
· Help the Hospices

Your vote could help Samaritans win £200,000 and deliver our life saving messages to men and women at risk across the UK.

Kind regards,

Rachel
