Christmas is a busy time at Samaritans. Decorations will go up across the country, but there will still be people feeling down. And the worst part? Many of those people struggling to cope will do so with a smile on their face. Because that’s what we do at Christmas, right? We eat, drink and be merry?
Well, what if this year was different? What if we weren’t silent about suicide?
Samaritans’ volunteers know that Christmas can be tough for people. But they’ll be there, ready to answer every call for help they can – putting in a shift even during the darkest hours of the night.
And you can support them!
Join us for the Night Shift Before Christmas, where you and your community can help raise vital funds to support our volunteers this winter and help us break the silence on suicide. We’re asking you to raise money by going live for four hours in support of our volunteers – the same length as one of their night shifts.
This year, the Stream Team’s goal is to raise £24,000 – about as much as keeping our helpline open for two days. Will you help us reach it?

[It] was a fantastic experience. Being able to tell our donors exactly how many people were benefitting from our current total was amazing […] and we had a few moments of truth with individuals who had been able to get help from Samaritans because of events like this. Oh, and we had a lot of fun doing it, of course!
