Welcome to Derby Samaritans Website

Samaritans at Derby

There's been a Derby Branch of Samaritans for nearly 50 years. Our first phone call was taken on 27th January 1961, and we were staffed then, as we still are, entirely by volunteers.  At the start of 2008 we had 75 volunteers doing regular duties, but we are currently looking for new recruits.  To find our more about becoming a volunteer, see our Volunteering page.

We are part of something bigger

Derby branch is one of over 200 branches, all registered charities,  which share the same vision and values. To find out more about Samaritans as a nationwide organization, please click here to go to the main Samaritans website 

Where Are We?

Our centre is located at 110 Burton Rd - not far from the town centre - for further details see How to find us . Our branch telephone number is 01332 36 44 44.

Most contacts are by phone, but we are open for visitors from 9am until 9pm most days of the week, all year round. Some people contact Samaritans by letter, and a growing number now use email.  In February of 2003, Derby branch became the 100th branch 'online' to receive and reply to emails.
