Samaritans

• 1 person takes his or her own life every 14 minutes in the UK
• 1 in 10 teenagers self harm
• 13 million working days are lost each year due to stress, in the UK

People contact Samaritans because of worries over relationships, health finances, loneliness, bereavement .... Of the 5 million contacts we received last year, only about 5% were from people seriously contemplating suicide.

Samaritans provides emotional support 24 hours a day, 7 days a year to everyone everywhere experiencing feelings of distress or despair.

We desperately need your support. Our service receives very little funding, yet each year we need to raise over £10m to be sure we are there for every person that contacts us.
