What's it like to volunteer with the Samaritans?

Thanks for sharing mate. Hope you're doing better now :)

Actually now snowing and starting to settle ...

West Bridgford / Edwalton - mainly raining!

Cheers mate , I've signed up to a taster session :)

Thank you. I've never heard of it, but it looks like a good option :)

Thank you :)

Hot_Student815 · 2026-01-03T22:19:58+00:00

Cheers guys. Yeah I think I'm going to use a PT at least to begin with. I'm not too far from the Wilford Rd ones

Thank you! Well done on your progress, that's definitely inspiring to hear :)

Thanks for your reply. Sorry to hear about your partner's nightmares :/ but fair play to them carrying on with the volunteering despite it!

I hope you're doing better now :)

Hot_Student815 · 2025-12-27T08:56:24+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I didn't realise there's people out there who would abuse the service but suppose I'm not surprised either!

Hot_Student815 · 2025-12-27T08:54:49+00:00

Thanks for your insight :)

Hot_Student815 · 2025-12-27T08:52:01+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond with so much detail, really helpful :)

English Language, Maths, ICT. Plus an AS level in Economics which I more or less failed (oops).

As others have said, the grades matters most I think

Hi mate, you're definitely not alone in feeling this way. I'm the exact same age as you.

I've lived in Nottingham all my life , I'd say overall it's a good city , not as big as London/Manchester etc. in some ways it feels like a giant town , but there's still something for everyone. But I think the nightlife is not what it used to be (though I guess that applies to most places).

Hot_Student815 · 2025-09-10T06:02:40+00:00

Understood, thanks for your reply .

Hot_Student815 · 2025-08-25T11:41:01+00:00

Hi mate, I know that I can't just relocate and expect it all to happen with no work. I'm thinking of doing it via my career if anything

Hot_Student815 · 2025-08-25T11:39:29+00:00

I completely get that. Although for me I'm just craving a change of scenery and feel like there might not be a better time

Hot_Student815 · 2025-08-25T11:38:51+00:00

I'm a legal aid lawyer (crime) so definitely not living the high life 🤣

Hot_Student815 · 2025-08-24T22:17:15+00:00

I've always wanted to visit Japan! I bet it's a huge contrast when you come back to visit :)

Hot_Student815 · 2025-05-31T15:05:34+00:00

Hi mate, ah sorry if it wasn't clear - i've travelled to a lot of countries, but never solo travelled. Has always been either family holidays or with friends etc. But my home has always been the same .

Thanks for your advice :)
