Kilkenny Castle to light up green for the Samaritan's Longest Night
Event is to mark the Winter Solstice in support of Samaritans who are there for people in need of support over the festive period
Kilkenny Castle will light up green tonight to mark the Winter Solstice in support of Samaritans Ireland for their #LongestNight campaign. The Samaritans are there for people in need of support during their darkest hours, especially over the festive period.
Samaritans provide a 24-hour helpline service for people who are in distress, struggling to cope and who are in need of emotional support, including those who are feeling suicidal.
Last year volunteers answered almost 35,000 calls for help throughout December, with 130 volunteers on duty throughout Christmas Day alone.
Samaritans can be contacted 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on freephone 116 123
