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.

If you need someone to talk to, we listen. We won't judge or tell you what to do.

Call 116 123 free from any phone, or 0330 094 5717 - local call charges apply.

Samaritans vision is that fewer people die by suicide.
