A Note from Cec
Samaritans continues to contribute significantly to our community. Throughout our community Samaritans works hard each day to identify and connect the right services for the right people.
These connections are strong and far reaching and result in the provision of vital services for our youth and their families, people with disabilities, people experiencing disadvantage and poverty, the unemployed and many more.
It is through the kind and generous support of the community that Samaritans can continue to provide these important services. Our friends within the Anglican Church and general community, our volunteers, supporters and valued donors all contribute enormously to providing the right outcomes for those that need our assistance.
Samaritans is proud to be doing good locally whatever, and wherever, the need may be and your support is greatly needed and appreciated.
