Why did we start The 44 Club?

Herefordshire Samaritans has been supporting people in crisis for decades. But like many local charities, we rely on the generosity of donors.

The 44 Club was created to provide sustainable, predictable funding to keep our branch open - while giving our supporters something back in return.

It's a win-win: you get the chance to win cash prizes, and we get the resources to be there for people when they need us most.
