Sevenoaks

Welcome!

Welcome to Sevenoaks Samaritans, a vibrant team of over 100 volunteers who help create a safe place to talk for people struggling to cope. We’re one of Samaritan’s newest hubs, established back in 2019, but since then we have made a huge impact. In fact, in 2023 we took over 20,000 calls, spending 10,000 hours listening to our callers.

Our outreach activities are expanding as we become more visible in the community. Our team will be attending different outreach activities throughout the year; keep an eye on this page for updates!

Want to volunteer?

At Sevenoaks Samaritans we’re always keen to welcome new faces to our enthusiastic and friendly growing volunteer community and we’re eager to share the wonderful feeling you get when you know you have really made a difference to someone’s day or even life.
