Pupils from the Sacred Heart Grammar School recently presented a cheque to Newry Samaritans following their walk along with the Newry Canal Towpath with pupils from St Mary's High School.
The cheque for over £900 was presented to Eileen and Paddy, Volunteers with Newry/Dundalk Samaritans.
Samaritans are very grateful to these young ladies for their efforts, as the organisation is entirely dependant on contributions from the public and is in urgent need of funds. This walk helped raise some of the funding needed to keep the local branch going.
Samaritans, who this year are celebrating their 40th year in the area, are located at 19 St Coleman's Park, Newry and offer emotional support 24 hours a day. They are always available to receive your phone calls at 028 (048) 302 66366, or your emails at jo@samaritans.org if you need to talk, or your financial contributions if you want to help.
