Acrylic on Board
Raising money for The Samaritans feels vital at the moment, as mental health issues are more openly talked about and people feel more able to reach out for help. As a teacher, I see the struggles that some young people got through, and a charity like the Samaritans can be there to support them. I am delighted to be able to support this project and to help raise money so that The Samaritans can continue with their valuable work.
