IT was disappointing to read that Sheffield Samaritans have been refused lottery funding.
This could mean Swindon Samaritans may get the same negative response.
The reason given was that groups such as asylum seekers, ethnic minorities, and the elderly were not being assisted.
As the Samaritans give one to one, very confidential help, how can the lottery people make that assumption? How can they know?
