For every £1 raised, 80p goes on our services and just 20p is invested in raising the next £1.
Why we need your support
Every 10 seconds, Samaritans responds to a call for help.
In 2018, there were 6,944 suicides in the UK and Republic of Ireland
Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland takes their own life
In the UK, males are three times more likely to die by suicide than females.
It took me a good five minutes to feel like I could speak, and I remember crying for a while. It felt good to tell someone unreservedly how I felt and have someone listen.
