I've just heard a radio advert for volunteers to join the Samaritans, and was quite shocked to hear the number would-be volunteers are asked to call: 08705 62 72 82
It's bad enough that people in need of help have to use an 0845 number. I know their local numbers aren't kept top secret, but someone in need isn't going to spend time looking for them, so might end up paying a fortune, especially as I suspect they are likely to use a mobile. It's about time the switched to an 03 number.
But to expect potential volunteers to dial an 0870 number is disgraceful. I imagine being a Samaritan is very trying indeed, and besides, no-one who gives up their time to do charity work should have to pay for the privilege.
