Life can be wonderful. Life can be tough. ​1 in 4 of us have had suicidal thoughts.​

Samaritans is the charity that prevents suicide through the power of human connection. Connecting people in crisis with trained volunteers who will always listen.​ People calling for change with those who need to listen.​ People who’ve been there before, with those struggling now.​

We unite to raise awareness of people’s experiences, create partnerships and campaign for suicide prevention. Together, we make suicide prevention a priority and reach people before it’s too late. In every community, including yours.​

Every hour. Every day. Every life.
