At the weekend I was honoured to speak at the Glasgow branch of The Samaritans http://www.samaritans.org/ as they celebrated their 50th year.
What a wonderful group of people! It was a pleasure to be amongst you.
The venue was really good too – The Beardmore Hotel and Conference centre on the outskirts of Glasgow.

I joined in the fun-filled ceilidh and a dance around the room prior to an early night before I spoke on Sunday morning. I even won a couple of tombola prizes – held to raise the funds for the excellent band. These volunteers certainly deserved their evening to network and share experiences.

The session went well and I was followed by the current national chair of The Samaritans, the inspirational Sophie Andrews pictured with me above.

Thanks to Jackie and the rest of the conference team for inviting me and for organising a very successful event. When are you going to get together and give yourselves the credit you deserve?
