We're raising awareness this July
Samaritans Awareness Day is on 24 July (24/7) so we're raising awareness throughout July, to let people know that they can talk to us, day or night, 24/7.
Every year in July, Samaritans branches in the UK and Ireland hold local events to raise awareness that Samaritans are here to listen to anyone who's struggling to cope, at any time of the day or night.
