Coronavirus is impacting all of our lives. This crisis is the biggest challenge Samaritans has ever faced. Before Coronavirus hit, 20,000 volunteers were answering a call for help every seven seconds. This could be someone you know, family or friends in urgent need but unable to talk to anyone in the middle of the night. It is more important than ever for Samaritans to be there 24/7, 365 days a year for those who need help. Every year, Samaritans volunteers spend over one million hours answering calls for help via their unique 24-hour listening service, e mail, letter, face to face and more recently online chat services. Samaritan's vision is that fewer people die by suicide and their mission is to make sure that there's someone there for anyone who needs someone.
The Samaritan's helpline is feeling the pressure. More people are struggling to cope or are in crisis. Samaritans may have less volunteers to help answer calls for help - currently around 30% of the volunteers are self isolating.
Your donation will help Samaritans reach those who are struggling to cope. It will help Samaritans to work on projects such as recruiting new and former volunteers, virtual training and new ways to provide support.
