Samaritans

Samaritans aims to prevent suicide through the power of human connection. Founded with a single telephone in 1953, we now answer millions of calls each year, offering free, confidential support to anyone in crisis or feeling suicidal.

Meet Layla

Meet Layla
After Layla’s mum took her own life, Layla experienced her own suicidal thoughts. It was a call to Samaritans that helped turn her life around. She recently ran her first marathon, in support of Samaritans, and in memory of her mum.

Tackling suicide together

Tackling suicide together
Samaritans volunteers have worked everywhere from prisons to music festivals. Our Together Against Suicide project with the Premier League is raising awareness amongst football fans, with suicide being the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK.

Bring someone’s future back

Bring someone’s future back
One-in-four people experience suicidal thoughts and you can help Samaritans be there when they do. We answer a call for help every 10 seconds so your support is urgently needed. You can help make tomorrow feel possible for those in crisis.
