About us

Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide. We believe that suicide is preventable.

Samaritans is here for anyone struggling to cope – day or night, 365 days a year. We take action to prevent people reaching crisis point, helping people find ways to cope and learn the skills to be there for others. We campaign to make suicide prevention a priority.

Samaritans is a charity working across the UK and Ireland and we need donations to help fund our life-saving work.

Fundraising 

At our branch, our unpaid volunteers spend around 500 hours a month taking over 20,000 calls a year.  The cost of providing our service amount to approximately £100 per day, £35,000 a year and we can only do what we do thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors and support volunteers.   We welcome any donations, large or small and are always delighted to hear of fundraising ideas for our branch.   

Please support us in any way you can to keep the branch open 365 days a year to take calls.
