What is Samaritans?
Samaritans is a UK and Ireland charity dedicated to providing emotional support to anyone in distress or struggling to cope. The charity offers confidential listening services via phone, email and face-to-face support, helping people talk through difficult feelings without judgement. Its work plays a vital role in suicide prevention and mental health awareness.
Operating across the UK and Republic of Ireland, Samaritans delivers its services through a nationwide network of local branches and trained volunteers, alongside public campaigns and outreach programmes.
Samaritans Charity Shops
Samaritans runs charity shops in selected locations across the UK and Ireland, offering donated second-hand clothing, books and homewares. These shops help fund the charity's 24/7 listening services and provide local communities with a way to support mental health and suicide prevention through second-hand shopping.
