Today and every day our service is available 24 hours. Your support given to The Samaritans helps add tomorrows every day.

The majority of our funding comes from caring individuals, who, like our unpaid volunteers operating our 24/7 hotline service, are willing to offer help and support to total strangers who are experiencing despair, distress or suicidal feelings.
