For every £1 raised, 80p goes on our services and just 20p is invested in raising the next £1.
Why we need your support
Every 10 seconds, Samaritans responds to a call for help.
Suicidal feelings were expressed during almost 1 in 4 calls for help where emotional support was provided.
Every 90 minutes in the UK, someone dies by suicide. But talking saves lives.
In 2024, Samaritans volunteers responded to more than 3.3 million calls for help.
Everything that’s been said about our service being needed more than ever is true. Most of my calls were intense. I was so glad I could be there. And the callers were all so grateful too.
