Our Impact Report for 2023/24: 70 years of listening
Last year, Samaritans marked 70 years of being there. In November 1953, the first ever call was answered to what was to become Samaritans’ helpline. This single act of humanity became a service involving tens of thousands of Samaritans who together over the years have answered more than 134 million calls for help.
We’ve continued to make progress against our strategic priorities this year. For instance, volunteers and staff worked hard to extend the opening hours for our online chat service and we played an instrumental role in shaping the Online Safety Act in Westminster and national suicide prevention strategies across the UK and Ireland.
