    Just a little thing about the Samaritans it celebrated its 60th Aniversary yesterday. It started in 1953 by Dr Chad Vara who was a Viccar in Lincoln before he moved down to London and started the charity and was the worlds first telephone helpline. On average today just the Lincoln Samaritans office fielded 16.4k calls in a year and is always availiable 24/7 That works out at 44 calls a day to the Lincoln office alone.
