Bridgend

Set up in 1972, Bridgend Samaritans have been supporting our local community for over 50 years. There are 60+ listening volunteers who provide a telephone listening service every day of the week, including weekends and overnights. In 2025 we spent over 3,500 hours on the phone answering almost 14,000 calls.

Could you help by answering calls to people experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those which may lead to suicide? If you don’t want to answer the phone or meet people face to face - maybe you can reply to emails from our callers who need emotional support? You could also volunteer to go out with our van to offer emotional support to our local community.
