It is one of those things we are trying to promote very much in our regional areas. At the moment, I am trying to see if we can get people who will be able to help us with home help because it is a real crisis at the moment even getting home help hours for regional areas. I am very happy to do that. I have offices in a number of areas in the constituency. I am happy to promote that and to showcase the Samaritans helpline number and all the options that are there for volunteers.
I have one query on the webinars as they relate to rural areas. The witnesses said the Samaritans were conducting online sessions. I was curious about how those were taking place, so someone might be able to answer that query.
