Samaritans is a unique charity dedicated to reducing feelings of isolation and disconnection that can lead to suicide.

Every six seconds, they respond to a call for help.

Every year, they answer more than 5 million calls for help by phone, email, SMS, letter, face-to-face at one of their local branches.

They are there 24/7 before, during and after a crisis.

Whether it’s an ‘are you ok?’ at just the right moment, or the midnight support of a trained volunteer; whether it’s better training in the workplace or campaigning for more investment in national and local suicide prevention – they are there.

The Samaritans charity works hard to ensure that there is always someone there for anyone who needs to talk.

Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide.
