The High Sheriff of Essex David Boyle and MP Angela Smith will be the special guests at the annual general meeting of the Samaritans.

The Basildon branch of the Samaritans will hold its meeting at the Lee Chapel North Community Centre, in Ballards Walk, Basildon, on November 7.

Volunteers will be encouraged to get prepared for the winter season which is always the busiest.
