A CHARITY that listens to people’s problems will hold a reception for potential volunteers.

The evening will take place from 7.30pm on Thursday, October 9 at the base for the Basingstoke branch of the Samaritans, in Essex Road, Brookvale.

It will give potential volunteers the chance to speak to existing volunteers and learn about the service and opportunities the charity provides.
