'Difficult decision' to close Samaritans branch after more than 50 years

Samaritans has made the difficult decision to close a branch that has operated for over 50 years. The charity stated that this action was taken due to circumstances beyond anyone's control. This closure is part of the organisation's ongoing efforts to build a more sustainable service for the future. The decision was described as difficult, but necessary given the current situation, marking the end of five decades of local service provided by the charity.
