Weymouth’s Jubilee Clock Lights Up Green for Samaritans

💚 Weymouth’s Jubilee Clock Lights Up Green for Samaritans 💚

Weymouth Town Council is delighted to share that from today, Sunday 19 January, until Monday 26 January, Weymouth Jubilee Clock will be lit up in green to represent the wonderful work of Samaritans.

This forms part of the Council’s Light Up Scheme, which sees this iconic landmark illuminated in different colours throughout the year to raise awareness of a variety of good causes and support important community conversations.

🗨️ Angela Watson and Dan Moss, Co-Branch Directors of Weymouth Samaritans, said:

“We answer a call every 10 seconds and know first hand how a conversation where someone shares how they feel can be life-changing. Brew Monday is an opportunity for everyone to check in with those we care about. It’s wonderful to see Weymouth Town Council support Samaritans and celebrate Brew Monday in such a public way to encourage the local community to take part.

We look forward to popping on the kettle, breaking out the bourbons and making time for anyone who might be struggling to tell us how they are really feeling. Let’s turn small talk into big talk. It might just save someone’s life.”

💚 Who are the Samaritans?
Samaritans is a UK charity that provides confidential emotional support to anyone who is struggling to cope or feeling distressed. They are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, offering a safe, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly about how they are feeling. You don’t have to be suicidal to contact Samaritans — they are there for anyone who needs someone to listen.
