Samaritans Day is officially underway!
A major push to raise funds and awareness for the local Kilkenny/Carlow Samaritans takes place today with a range of events planned including coffee mornings and other festive fundraisers.
It all culimates in a special KCLR concert at Set Theatre from 7:30pm.
Over 100 listening volunteers are based in Kilkenny alone.
The charity also recently purchased a building that will provide adequate space for training needs.
