Chesterfield

About Us

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

Today, we have more than 50 Samaritans, all of whom are volunteers, who support callers by 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. If you are struggling, you don’t have to face it alone. Callers can phone Samaritans free on 116 123 or send an email to [email protected]. Samaritans are here for you, if you need us. To find out more about Samaritans’ services, please click here.

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 all volunteers receive 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 at the heart of the community and supporting local people. We attend a range of different community events to reach those most likely to be struggling.

Donations and Fundraising

As an independently registered charity, we need funding to do our important work. We are striving to become financially sustainable, and we welcome donations, sponsorship and support from local donors, grant funders and corporate businesses. Every contribution helps us continue to be there for people when they need us most.
