It is estimated that one in four UK adults will experience mental health problems throughout the course of a year with around 10% suffering from depression. Suicide accounted for 4,575 deaths in the UK in 2016. Volunteers at Central London Samaritans provide confidential, emotional support for anyone in distress. We seek to ensure that people experiencing distress, despair and suicidal feelings have somewhere to turn in a crisis. We want to ensure that no call for help goes unanswered.
