Samaritans of Scarborough volunteers will be at the event and hope to collect money towards the £39,000 needed each year to keep the Samaritan service active in Scarborough and the surrounding district.

Spokesperson for the Samaritans of Scarborough, Dorree Gallee, said: “Samaritans vision is that fewer people will die by suicide and this is a very important message as Scarborough has the highest rate of suicide in Yorkshire.

“Every penny collected stays local.”

During the Wellbeing choir performance, when they have a 15 minute break, 13 year old Lily Pen, a Scarborough College student will perform some solos.

Band Dirty Windows will also be performing from 3-4pm and, again, Samaritan volunteers will be on hand to continue their collecting.

If anyone needs a listening ear call 116 123 (freephone) any time, even on Christmas Day.
