WELCOME to Samaritans of Lewisham Greenwich and Southwark.

Our branch opened in 1969, serving the boroughs of Lewisham Southwark and Greenwich, since then we have seen an increase in contacts, and also in the number of Volunteers from the 3 boroughs. We currently have over 80 volunteers; it would be great to have more.

Based in a busy multicultural area, close to New Cross and just round the corner from Goldsmiths, we are situated in the heart of the community.

We recently moved into new premises in Angus Street and are delighted to be able to offer access facilities to anyone regardless of disabilities thanks to a generous grant from The City Bridge Trust.

We take in excess of 18,000 calls and emails per year, providing confidential and non-judgemental emotional support to anyone experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those which may lead to suicide.
