Help us make sure that no one has to face things alone.
Every 10 seconds, Samaritans responds to a call for help.
Anyone can turn to us, any time. They could be a friend, neighbour or relative of yours. They could be experiencing anything from mental health struggles, relationship breakdown or debt problems but they all have one thing in common – they need urgent support
We’re here 24/7, 365 days a year, for whatever life throws at people. Around 22,000 Samaritans volunteers give up their time in more than 200 branches and locations across the UK and Ireland.
Right now we're needed more than ever.
But we can't do it alone
We're living in uncertain and worrying times. In recent years, the world has become, for many, a worrying place. Anyone, at any time, can find themselves in need of emotional support, to help cope with life's changes and challenges.
We know that poorer mental and physical health, bereavement, isolation, economic hardship are factors that we know can increase the risk of suicide.
But we also know that suicide is preventable – and we have an opportunity to prevent it.
