Boston

Today, we have around 20 volunteers providing listening services and helping us raise funds to be able to be there for those who have lots on their mind.

Samaritans are here for anyone struggling to cope – day or night, 365 days a year.

Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and we as a branch help to deliver the Samaritans’ vision, that fewer people die by suicide. We believe that suicide is preventable. We take action to prevent people reaching crisis point, helping people find ways to cope and learn the skills to be there for others. We campaign to make suicide prevention a priority. If you feel you need to speak to a Samaritan please check out the ways that you can.

Want to volunteer?

Boston Branch has no paid staff and is run solely by volunteers who are described as 'Ordinary people doing extraordinary things'. If you feel that you, too, can do extraordinary things and would like to do something you’re proud of!

We are looking for volunteers to join our Spring training Cohort in January 2025!

Boston Samaritans are looking for new Listening volunteers to begin training from January 2025.

'Brilliant support', 'Professional training', 'Personal growth' - Our volunteers have found that supporting others can make a difference to their own lives too.
