We know that life can sometimes be incredibly tough. Thanks to the dedication of more than 20,000 volunteers, Samaritans can be there for anyone, whatever they are going through and whenever they are struggling to cope. We’re also at the heart of local communities, working with schools, workplaces, railways, prisons and hospitals to offer training and support, preventing suicide and helping people turn their lives around.

Our life-saving work wouldn’t be possible without the extraordinary generosity of our event participants.

What is the Big Blue Thank You?

The Big Blue Thank You is a worldwide movement which anyone can join for free from Sunday 5th July, with the aim of saying thank you to our key workers, donating to supporting organisations and getting people active.

How can I get involved in the Big Blue Thank You?

The concept is simple. We'd like to encourage everyone to complete an activity of their choice to help raise vital funds for Samaritans.

People of all ages can take part and say a Big Blue Thank You. The options are endless for which activity you'd like to take part in - from walking, running, cycling, to yoga and even simply cleaning the house. Whatever you’d like to do to say Thank You.

When does the Big Blue Thank You take place?

Anyone can join the Big Blue Thank You for free from Sunday 5th July. You can complete your chosen activity whenever you like, it doesn’t need to be on the 5th, it’s whenever suits you.
