It takes so much for someone to call Samaritans.
So much courage. So much pain. So much desperation. Sometimes our callers have reached the final breaking point after years of loneliness, depression, stress or even abuse. Others may be trying to cope with a sudden, traumatising event, such as the break-up of a marriage, the loss of a job or a recent bereavement.
Whatever the reason that someone calls us, it is vital that when that moment comes, whether it be day or night, we are ready to answer the cry for help. We are even open on Christmas Day.
But we need your help - to keep those phone lines open. Did you know that:
- £10 pays for 24 calls to our national number: 08457 90 90 90
- £50 pays for Samaritans to answer 20 telephone calls from people needing emotional support.
- £100 lets Samaritans recruit and train a brand new Samaritans volunteer.
- £200 pays for Samaritans to respond to 80 emails
- £1,500 would keep Samaritans running throughout the UK and Republic of Ireland for one hour?
During this recession your financial support is more important than ever before. We receive no Government funding for a service that provides a desperately needed lifeline. Please give generously and remember that if you are a UK tax payer your donation goes much further with Gift Aid.
