Samaritans of Dunfermline Awareness Day with Charity Partner Dunfermline Athletic Football Club 2026
Our joint statement in support of the Awareness day on Saturday 12th September 2026 at the SPFL Championship game V Queens Park FC
Samaritans of Dunfermline and Dunfermline Athletic FC Partnership
Dunfermline Athletic Football Club is proud to be partnered with Samaritans of Dunfermline as the clubs main charity partner. Both organisations recognise the importance of the wellbeing of the local community, and we look forward to working closely together in fund-raising and awareness activities, such as today, that are designed to benefit both the aims of Samaritans of Dunfermline, and the continued success of the Pars, within the whole community. This event is particularly important coming in the week of World Suicide Prevention Day.
Suicide is the leading cause of death of men under 50 and of young people aged 16-24 in the UK, and as such Samaritans hope that their association with the Football Club encourages those who find it difficult to talk about their problems to contact them.
Samaritans of Dunfermline have served the local community for over 60 years with emotional support for those in distress and despair. Together, we work to make suicide prevention a priority for everyone, help raise awareness of Samaritans, and how to support others who may be struggling and reduce the stigma around suicide.
Those who need to talk can call Samaritans free, 116 123 anytime day or night.
