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.

Why does Samaritans need to fundraise and how will my donation be used?

add remove

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 the 24-Hour Challenge 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.
