25 July 2013 #Clarkslegal
As part of our 100 days` volunteering for our centenary year, members of Clarkslegal staff helped raise awareness of the Samaritans in Reading, for the charity`s 24-7 campaign.
For several years the Samaritans have coordinated campaigns on 24th July (24/7) to remind people they are available to provide emotional support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our staff were entrusted with handing out cakes and lollies to shoppers of all ages in Reading town centre so Samaritans` volunteers could be available to meet with anyone who needed their support. We gave out over 750 cakes throughout the day and helped children make bracelets and crowns, in keeping with this week`s Royal celebrations.
