Reigate Branch

Samaritans has more than 200 branches and locations across the UK and Ireland, with around 22,000 volunteers taking calls, with a number of Branches also responding to emails and online chat around the clock, from callers who are facing difficulties in their lives, some of whom may have suicidal feelings.

Your local branch, East Surrey, has been based in Reigate town centre; part of the local community since 1964. Our 90+ trained volunteers play an active part in supporting this effort, both nationally and locally, as well as getting involved with local events, like Run Reigate.

We know, only too well, that misfortune can strike anyone at any age from right across society. That’s why we place great emphasis on maintaining relationships with as many local retail, businesses, council services, NHS, schools and colleges as possible. We also have strong links with the local prison service at High Down Prison.

Whilst we are always grateful for funding to maintain this service, it costs over £50,000 per year to keep our centre running, this is not just a one-way street. Our training, listening skills and our course resources are available to help others deal with challenging encounters, in their personal and professional lives, from customers and colleagues who are experiencing difficulties. If you would like to help us with a one-off or a monthly donation, you can do it here.

Our outreach and fundraising teams will partner with you at any level that is right for you and your organisation. We can work with you to:

  • Set up a team challenge or hold an event - we can promote joint fundraising activities that complement your existing CSR responsibilities (Online or face to face)
  • Develop wellbeing awareness activities with your teams, including outreach support to your employees
  • Arrange “Listen like a Samaritan” training – our bespoke training introduces listening skills that anyone can use. This can help colleagues or customers who might be experiencing emotional distress or who may be struggling with suicidal thoughts themselves
  • Help us to fundraise on your premises using our ‘Tap to Donate’ technology and other initiatives
  • Donate to our branch
  • Set up regular gift donations.
  • Join us by becoming a Samaritans volunteer yourself!

We are passionate about what we do, because we know that listening to people in distress can be life-changing for our callers. There are hundreds of ways you can help us and them, and there may be ways we can help you too!

Please get in touch with us to find out more.
