Chesterfield

About Us

We’ve been working to provide emotional support to the community since 1971, so we’ve now been doing our important work for more than 50 years! Initially based on Chatsworth Road, we moved to Rose Hill in 1976, and our current location on Saltergate in 2015.

Today, we have more than 50 Samaritans, all volunteers, who support callers on the phone, email and online chat. We also offer face to face support at community events - please see below to learn more about our outreach work.

We know that some people may not find everyday life easy to cope with. Callers can phone Samaritans free on 116 123 or send an email to [email protected]. Samaritans are here for you, if you need us.

In 2017, Chesterfield Samaritans became a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) with registered number 1170279. You can find out more about us by visiting the Charity Commission website.

Volunteer with Us

We pride ourselves on being a great place to volunteer, and we are always looking for more listeners to join us. The volunteering environment for our listeners is friendly and extremely supportive, and they receive careful and extensive training.

More information about becoming a listening volunteer and other volunteering opportunities with Chesterfield Samaritans can be found here.

Outreach

While our volunteers help to deliver the national Samaritans listening service, we are passionate about being heart of the community and supporting local people. We attend a range of different community events to reach those most likely to be struggling.

As an independently registered charity, we need funding to do our important work. We are striving to become financially sustainable and we welcome sponsorship from local donors, grants and corporate businesses.
