Oxford Samaritans opened in 1963, it is an active branch with around 170 volunteers who respond to around 2,500 calls and 1,000 emails each month. 

Samaritans volunteers come from all backgrounds and all walks of life and offer their time to support those facing a tough time.  We’re proud to have such dedicated volunteers and supporters! 

Oxford Samaritans is available 24 hours a day to provide confidential emotional support to anyone who may be experiencing feelings of distress or despair; including those that may lead to suicide.
