York Samaritans emergency appeal - Donate to our branch!
Coronavirus is impacting all of our lives. This crisis is the biggest challenge Samaritans has ever faced.
Before Coronavirus hit, our 20,000 volunteers were answering a call for help every six seconds. This could be someone you know, family or friends in urgent need but unable to talk to anyone in the middle of the night. It is more important than ever for Samaritans to be there 24/7, 365 days a year for those who need us.
Our helpline is feeling the pressure. We’re likely to experience more people struggling to cope or in crisis. Our volunteers are making extraordinary efforts to be there for anyone who needs us. Angela, from our York branch, tells us more about this appeal.
"For over 50 years, our branch has provided a listening ear to anyone who needs support, we need to raise funds to run our service and this has been possible through the public's kind donations. I am sure that many of you will have seen us out and about in the community whilst we promote the work we do and raise the vital funds that are needed to run our branch so that we can be there for anyone who needs to talk to us. We are not able to be in the community at the moment but we still need funds to keep our service going and now more than ever, we need the public's continued support.

We need you now more than ever
Our teams are working hard to ensure that we can still be here 24/7, 365 days a year for those who are in crisis.
Your donation to the York branch's  Samaritans Emergency Appeal  will help us reach those who are struggling to cope. It will help us to recruit more volunteers and work faster in different ways to be there.
A thank you from Angela
Thank you for everything you are doing under such challenging circumstances to try to make sure we can still be there for people now and over the next few months. It’s not going to be easy but for the callers, we can be there for, it means so much. Samaritan volunteers give their time freely, we do not have any paid staff in the branch. If you can help us to raise funds to keep our service going that will be amazing, thank you!
