Talk to Us toolkit

24 July (24/7) is Samaritans Awareness Day, because we’re here to listen 24/7

On this date and throughout July, we'll be running our awareness-raising campaign Talk to Us, to remind people that we’re here for anyone who needs someone to listen.

We aim to share one simple message: Samaritans are here 24/7 for anyone who is struggling to cope.

Talk to us, we’ll listen.

Internal news copy

If you're planning to raise awareness this July, please feel free to use the internal news copy below to let colleagues know more about the campaign. You may adapt this messaging to reflect any specific activities you may have planned for July.

Throughout July, Samaritans will be running its annual awareness-raising campaign, Talk to Us. The campaign aims to let people know that Samaritans volunteers are there 24/7 for anyone who is struggling to cope.

In 2022 there wasn't a single second when Samaritans volunteers weren't on the phone to someone.

To show our support, we will be raising awareness on social media throughout July, as well as marking Samaritans Awareness Day on 24 July.

If you’d like to get involved, you can help raise awareness this month by sharing Samaritans’ messaging on your own social media pages using #TalkToUs and #SamaritansAwarenessDay.

When life is difficult, Samaritans are there – day or night, 365 days a year. You can call them for free on 116 123, email them at [email protected], or visit www.samaritans.org to find your nearest branch.

Thank you

Thank you for helping to raise awareness of Samaritans. With your support, we can encourage more people to talk to us if they're struggling to cope. Together we can make change that saves lives.
