If you feel you would be able to listen, give callers your full attention and completely forget about yourself when doing so, you might like to consider becoming a Samaritan volunteer.


The Oxford Samaritans invite prospective volunteers to attend an open evening as an opportunity to learn about acquiring the listening skills Samaritans volunteers need. Application forms are distributed and details provided about the commitment we make to our volunteers and what we expect from them. These evenings are held at regular intervals and prospective volunteers who make application will, if accepted, attend a preparation course held several times a year.
