🧶 We're proud to launch our brand new official tartan, ‘Samaritartan’, this Burns Day! Samaritartan symbolises all of our lives, intertwined, connected & often touched by suicide in some way 💚 🎥 @ScribePedersen helps us tell the story of our tartan with a beautiful new poem

We headed to Fort William along with outreach volunteers last week, for the Lochaber Community Appointment Day, which allows patients who have been on a long waiting list to access physiotherapy assessments as well as support from wider NHS and community services.

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay, and we want to help people to talk about suicide. By talking openly about suicide as well as mental health, we can save lives. We can help people to feel less alone, more understood, and more able to reach out for help.

Important and powerful words from @FJMcNally this week. Thank you for speaking up and showing off our lovely Samaritartan!
I shared how using sport as part of the suicide prevention strategy in North Lanarkshire helped save lives. Community action works, but mental health support must be also properly funded. I was happy to wear the @samaritans tartan tie to raise awareness on suicide prevention.

Samaritans in Shetland marked a special date this weekend with 40 years of the Listening Service. We loved this image of Lerwick Town Hall flying the flag for Samaritans, looking out towards the harbour 💚
