Gamers for Samaritans
Rather than going solo for a 24-hour marathon, consider teaming up for a relay with friends, taking on a shorter session, or spreading your challenge over a few days. No matter what, you’ll be helping raise vital funds and awareness for Samaritans. Join gamers making a difference this July.
Swim for Samaritans
Whether you prefer the sea, a lake, or your local pool, choose a swimming challenge that pushes you outside your comfort zone. You could swim a set distance, complete multiple swims over several days, or team up with friends and take on a relay challenge together.
Or how about...
Crafters for Samaritans
Rather than going solo for a 24-hour marathon, consider teaming up for a relay with friends, taking on a shorter session, or spreading your challenge over a few days. Whether you knit, sew, crochet, paint, or scrapbook, you'll be raising vital funds and awareness for Samaritans.

24-Hour Challenge FAQs
Can I do my challenge on a different date?
Yes! Friday, 24th July (24/7) is Samaritans Awareness Day, but if that date doesn't suit you, pick a date in July that does!
Does my challenge have to be for a full 24 hours?
- Your challenge doesn't have to be 24 hours.
- Rather than going solo for a 24-hour marathon, we recommend Gamers and Crafters team up for relays with friends.
- If disrupting your routine could negatively impact your mood or wellbeing, we recommend doing your challenge for a shorter time or spreading it out over a few days.
Does my fundraising support local Samaritans branches?
Yes! All funds raised from your challenge support our Branch Development Fund, helping local Samaritans branches across Ireland be there for your community.
How much do I have to raise?
There's no minimum fundraising requirement for the challenge. You can set any fundraising goal you like.
But if you raise €250 or more, we'll send you an exclusive personalised notebook gift set!
