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 both Ireland & Northern 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."

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.
