Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy.

Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide.

We believe that suicide is preventable.

Samaritans is here for anyone struggling to cope – day or night, 365 days a year. We take action to prevent people reaching crisis point, helping people find ways to cope and learn the skills to be there for others. We campaign to make suicide prevention a priority.

Samaritans is a charity working across the UK and Ireland and we need donations to help fund our life-saving work.

Our service

Unfortunately, we can’t see face to face callers at our Branch right now, but our volunteers are still going in every day to answer the telephone and reply to e-mails.

We know that current times can be challenging, and for many people, anxiety is heightened. Right now, many of our callers are talking to us about a huge range of feelings: isolation, boredom, grief, anxiety, stress, and money worries, to name but a few. Whatever your situation, if things aren’t okay for you, then you are welcome to phone us on 116 123 or e-mail [email protected]
