|  | Our Scrapbook 2006 Events Saturday 5th August 2006 It was good to have a number of people take an interest in our leaflets and ask about what Samaritans does. The children, as often is the case were frequently more thrilled with a 'consolation prize' - meaning they get to rummage through a box and pick out a small toy of their choice - rather than a big teddy or fluffy toy. The tombola and Pluck-A-Duck raised £95 for our funds - thanks to everyone who helped us achieve this.
Monday 24th July 2006 - and throughout July 24:7 is our new national fundraising and awareness day. Walsall area events included: Sunday 2nd July 2006 Tuesday 4th July 2006 Saturday 22nd July 2006 Sunday 23rd July 2006
Friday 14th July 2006 The Old 'uns scored a resounding 3 - 2 victory over the young 'uns. Everyone taking part
Saturday 24th June 2006 We regard it as a highly successful day - our tombola stall was a sell out and we raised over £55 - more than a day's running costs for our services in the Walsall area. It was marvelous to meet so many people from the area. Thank you to everyone who visited our stall - we hope to see you again.
Sunday 21st May 2006
South East Staffs Morris Minor Owners Club (who adopted us as their charity last year) invited us to join them at Hollybush Garden Centre, Shareshill. They were there with a number of their classic vehicles - Minors and others, a children's colouring competition and a tombola stall. Thanks to those who braved a cold, wet day to visit. Wednesday 29th March 2006 Once again, Tesco allowed us to hold a collection at their New Oscott store. It was good meeting everyone and we raised £311.64 - thank you everyone for your generosity! Friday 24th February 2006:
Posters on buses serving routes across our area are part of our efforts to inform local people of our service and the need for volunteers to staff it. The advertising, as well as some of the costs involved in delivering volunteer training has been funded with the support of the Lloyds TSB Foundation. Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th February 2006: We were out with our collecting buckets Over the two days we raised £161.07 which all goes directly into funding Samaritans’ confidential emotional support service in this area.

ally "challenging" for us!
- South East Staffs Morris Minor Owners Club visited us with some of their cars as the finale to our year as their chosen charity. The presented us with a cheque for £225 which they have raised over the last 12 months - this is roughly equivalent to the cost of answering 100 calls to our helpline.
and watching had a fabulous time. We await the collection of sponsorship before we know how much has been raised, but one Young Ladies Team Player raised over £100 in a couple of days in sponsorship for a pre-match leg-wax. Brave fellow - and what a good sport!
The formal launch of our awareness and volunteer recruitment campaign involved a photo shoot with a Travel West Midlands bus at our centre. 
at the Tesco store, Brownhills. We would like to say thank you to everyone who made donations, or came to talk, and to the Tesco staff and management for their help.
