Samaritans support anyone struggling to cope. Its 22,000 trained listening volunteers are positioned in over 200 branches and locations across the UK and Ireland, along with 1,300 trained listener volunteers in prisons.
The work of the Samaritans provides critical support to those in a time of crisis, struggling to cope or at risk of suicide, often through its 24/7 telephone helpline.
This year’s charity day involved four of the firm’s UK offices, with charitable activates including car washes, treasure hunts and a firm wide quiz, taking place across London, Norwich, Sawston and Bishop Stortford.
The firm’s volunteers were also positioned at local train stations in Cambridge, London King’s Cross, London Charing Cross, Bishop’s Stortford and Norwich, gathering support and bucket collections from members of the public.
Price Bailey are due to announce the total amount raised next month, with the firm pledging to match the charitable donations up £50,000, which will be shared between the Samaritans and other local worthwhile causes.
Commenting on the charity partnership back in April, Sam Gale, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Samaritans said:
“Our partnership with Price Bailey will help Samaritans to meet ever-evolving demands for support as we continue to live through uncertain and worrying times for many.
“It’s thanks to the amazing support of our partners, like Price Bailey, that we can continue to invest further in our services, ensuring we can be there, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
“This partnership will further drive our efforts to help more people, and we can’t wait to see what we will achieve together”.
Gemma Thake, Partner at Price Bailey comments:
“Here at Price Bailey we understand the importance of giving back, which is why we prioritise days such as our 2023 charity day and offer our staff giving back days, to encourage community action and charitable support.
“We are also passionate about well-being, working hard to support our people through trained Mental Health Ambassadors and our 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme.”
Gemma continues:
“This year’s Charity Day was a real success for the firm. It was a great pleasure to see our Charity Day reinstated once again, with so many colleagues taking part across the entire practice – raising funds and awareness for Samaritans.”
