Just donate £4 to take part and receive your 'Phone Free Friday Survival Kit'. Why £4? That's what it costs the Samaritans to take one call – a call that could save a life.

i can i dont own a mobile, and very rarely use my home phone unless its to answer stupid bloody calls from india ect!

I've only got a basic mobile, Laughing Gravy, which I mostly wouldn't miss, & I don't use the landline every day, but I would miss the internet.

What's ect mean lg?numpty

without my phone, I would lose a lot of "LUVVA"(money)
I get phone calls from across the globe, maimly friends.
wouldya believe "pauli rabbioti" this was the Italian guy(mafia) who collected the union dues in the truckers section
after all these years he still calls me at least 4/5 times a year? agreat guy to know on account he was a great bare knuckle scrapper.if you were looking for trouble;e..keep well clear of pauli, cos this guy left ya for dead.

Phones can definitely be invaluable at times, Billy.

The Samaritans are a great organisation that help save lives by always being at the end of the phone.

A reminder:

If anyone's interested in volunteering at The Samaritans of Wigan, you can find out more at an info session:

* Thursday 5th June at 7pm / Sunday 15th June at 1pm *

A great charity.

One of my best friends worked there for many years.

Well done to your friend, Jay_1, it's not a job for everyone, but those who are able to do it no doubt make a great difference at times.

If you have an association with the Wigan branch you would certainly know this gentleman.He's made a major contribution in many ways to Wigan society for many years.

I know little about the Wigan branch, Jay_1, and only found out it's based in Dicconson Street recently as my friend looked into becoming a volunteer.
