Zoe said the charity was close to her heart and when she heard about Mike Shaw from Rustington devoting his time as a listening volunteer after his younger brother took his own life, she wanted to congratulate him.

A recorded video message from Zoe was shown at the Worthing Samaritans branch meeting held at Worthing Library on Wednesday, April 26.
