∞ ∞ Studio
{100% WILL GO TO CHARITY} Charity Chosen: Samaritans
Repaint for {NOT YET SPECIFIED} + Sound mod = Under £5 donation
5 Repaints for {NOT YET SPECIFIED} + Soundpack = £5+ donation
This project is not yet confirmed as we want to know your opinions.
Would you be willing to pay £1 - £10 knowing that 100% will go to charity.
We are in no way sponsored by the charity but are doing it out of the kindness of ourselves and we would like to offer you this opportunity to help us raise money for everything that they have done. The repaint will feature the logo of the Samaritans and will be dedicated to the ones who suffer or families who have been affected by the loss of a loved one due to suicide, The topic is not to upset anyone but is to simply raise awareness and pay our respects to the ones who have/or suffer(ed). We would like to raise the awareness of the Samaritans charity as well as we simply just do not think that they have enough credit for what they do.
Some information about the Samaritans charity:
Samaritans was founded in 1953 by Chad Varah, a vicar in the Church of England Diocese of London. His inspiration came from an experience he had had some years earlier as a young curate in the Diocese of Lincoln. He had taken a funeral for a girl of fourteen who had killed herself because she feared she had contracted an STD. In reality, she was menstruating. Varah placed an advertisement in a newspaper encouraging people to volunteer at his church, listening to people contemplating suicide.
The movement grew rapidly: within ten years there were 40 branches and now there are 201 branches across the UK and Ireland helping many, deliberately organised without regard to national boundaries on the basis that a service which is not political or religious should not recognise sectarian or political divisions. Samaritans offers support through over 21,200 trained volunteers (2015) and is entirely dependent on voluntary support. The name was not originally chosen by Chad Varah: it was part of a headline to an article in the Daily Mirror newspaper on 7 December 1953 about Varah's work.
In 2004, Samaritans announced that volunteer numbers had reached a thirty-year low, and launched a campaign to recruit more young people (specifically targeted at ages 18–24) to become volunteers. The campaign was fronted by Phil Selway, drummer with the band Radiohead, himself a Samaritans volunteer.
