Your Impact
Why we need your help
Every day, someone in Ireland takes their own life. In the next hour, we'll respond to 60 calls for help.
Our volunteers in Ireland & Northern Ireland answered more than 570,000 calls for help last year.
Samaritans is the only charity in Ireland offering emotional support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to anyone who is in distress, lonely, struggling to cope or feeling suicidal.

"Samaritans have saved my life on a few occasions when things were hard. Whenever all hope felt lost, they were my go-to phone call, just to get everything out, to unload my feelings. Whether I needed to cry or someone to talk to, they were always so gentle and caring."
- Nathan
"Samaritans listened and supported me without judging or telling me what to do. Having someone to speak to when I had suicidal thoughts helped me untangle my feelings and think more clearly."

FAQs
Why should I support Samaritans?
Samaritans is the only charity in Ireland offering emotional support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, to anyone who is in distress, lonely, struggling to cope, or feeling suicidal.
By fundraising for Samaritans, you can make sure we're always here for people in their darkest hours.
Why does Samaritans need to fundraise and how will my donation be used?
To give you an idea of how much it costs to run our services, €30 could help Samaritans cover the costs of training, supporting and mentoring a listening volunteer, and a donation of €156 could help Samaritans cover the costs of recruiting and training a new listening volunteer to answer calls for help.
Gifts to Samaritans will not only help us to answer as many calls as possible, but it will also help us develop new ways of making sure our service is available to those who need it. We’ll be able to keep up with evolving communications, making sure that whenever and however someone makes a call for help, we’ll be ready to answer.
Samaritans are supported by around 2,000 incredible volunteers across Ireland & Northern Ireland, but it is not just our listening service that helps us achieve our vision of fewer people dying by suicide. We also provide workplace training to help people take better care of their mental health at work, and campaign for more investment in national and local suicide prevention.
All funds raised from community challenge campaigns support our Branch Development Fund, helping local Samaritans branches be there for your community. This fund helps local branches cover costs of technology, upgrades and much more.
