There are plenty of ways to support your local Samaritans branch in Peterborough. Here's just a few:
Why your support is vital
We receive no funding from our Samaritans Central Office and are responsible for raising all our own funds locally.
It is your support that enables us to be there for caller in their hour of need – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Fundraising is essential to keep our branch running. It also helps to build connections in our local community.
