On behalf of all of our staff and volunteers, thank you so much for choosing to commemorate Benjamin Ackroyd by raising money for Samaritans. We truly appreciate every donation we receive, but we are especially grateful that you have thought of us at this time. Please accept our sincerest condolences - your gifts are a lovely way to celebrate Benjamin's life and we really can’t thank you enough. Your support will help us continue to be there for anybody who is struggling to cope. Please remember, Samaritans is here for anyone, at any time of day or night. If you’re finding things difficult and would like to speak to someone, please do not hesitate to contact one of our listening volunteers on 116 123, or email jo@samaritans.org. With warmest regards, Samaritans

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Ben. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
