Elizabeth 's storyElizabeth Samaritans is a well-known and familiar name, but fewer people know what's actually involved in being a volunteer. Elizabeth was familiar Samaritans but she was always intrigued to know more. When she did a bit of research she realised she'd like to get involved. After graduating from university and then having some time out to travel, she became a volunteer. She finds it really rewarding to be able to support someone through a difficult situation, but was pleasantly surprised to find some other benefits. "I have met some amazing people at Samaritans. They're not people I would normally have met in my day to day life and they're from really different backgrounds but I've made some firm friends. I look forward to going in for each duty. I think I'm more open to people than I was before too." "I have met some amazing people at Samaritans.

Elizabeth - volunteers for Samaritans When she's not working at Darlington College of Technology, she spends most of her spare time going to live music events, working out at the gym, and traveling.
