Motion text
That this House notes the annual Samaritans Awareness day to be held on 24 July 2025; highlights the charity’s wonderful work with those who need someone to talk to in recognition of the fact that mental health problems affect around one in four people in any given year; further highlights that the term mental health covers a range from common problems, such as depression and anxiety, to rarer problems such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and often someone to talk to can make a real difference; thanks every person who works and volunteers in the organisation for providing that listening ear night and day, every day of the year; further thanks all those who donate to this very worthy cause; and wishes Samaritans every success as they continue to help those who need them the most throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
