In 2020, Samaritans volunteers responded to over 10,000 calls for help every day
You might be wondering how we measure what we do.
As a local Samaritans Branch of a national charity we are a stand alone branch, means that we are run by only volunteers and raise every penny ourselves to ensure we can keep our local Harrogate & District service running 24/7 365 days a week.
We contribute to the efforts of the 201 branches across the UK and ROI.
Our annual impact report contains stats and information on all the work we do including:
- Answering 10,000 calls for help a day
- Answering over 360k calls from prisoners and training our Listeners in prison to provide face to face support over 26k times
- Answering 20,000 calls from NHS and social workers
