Salisbury and District Samaritans

Every year, 140 local listening volunteers receive over 20,000 calls and emails from people in crisis and in need of immediate emotional support. Our support volunteers help us to raise money, raise awareness of our services, organise events, keep our computers working or contribute to the many administrative roles that keep our branch running smoothly.

We support our local prison through the Samaritans Listeners scheme, training and supporting Prison Listeners.

We support our local community through an active outreach programme. Through outreach we support people who are in distress in our community. We also work to promote awareness of listening skills and explain how active listening can help people who are struggling. We work to improve understanding of emotional health and how it impacts on young people's wellbeing. We support our military on Salisbury Plain by attending welfare events and giving presentations to serving members of the armed forces. Our speakers make presentations to local organisations and clubs, both for general awareness of Samaritans and to help people who provide emotional support in their roles.

  • Donate - If you would like to donate to us, raise funds for us, or remember us in your Will or with an In Memory donation, we would love to hear from you. Particularly important are the regular monthly donations from our “Friends of Salisbury Samaritans”. These monthly donations are the gifts that keep on giving.  You can donate monthly amounts between £10 and £25 while companies and other local donors make often larger and much appreciated monthly donations. Such regular donations, whether small or large, are all gratefully received and enable us to keep supporting people. If you would like to become a “Friend of Salisbury Samaritans”, please do join us by clicking on the donate to us button and scrolling down to the Monthly Payment option. Thank you for your support.
  • Volunteering - we are also recruiting Support Volunteers and Trustees. These roles are vital to the running of the branch and help in non listening roles such as admin, fundraising, publicity, marketing, governance, managing our website, organising events etc. If you are interested in joining Salisbury Samaritans as a support volunteer or trustee, please email [email protected]. We are not currently recruiting Listening Volunteers as we have a significant waiting list. We will post here and on Twitter when we are recruiting again.
