Leicester Samaritans

Welcome to Leicester Samaritans

From our branch in Leicester we provide confidential, emotional support to those in need of a safe space to talk over problems, feelings, stress or anything that maybe worrying them, especially those in extreme despair.

Our 130 trained volunteers respond to over 44,000 contacts for support by phone, email and face to face visits in our branch.

We have partnerships with a number of local organisations, including HM Prison Leicester, HM Prison Fosse Way and HM Prison Gartree.

If you would like to know more about joining us as a volunteer please contact us.

We also provide talks for community groups, schools and other organisations interested in our work.
