If you're interested in volunteering with us in any way, including being a shop, support or a listening volunteer please do get in touch.

If you're a great DIYer, can help with driving our van or fundraising then we'd love to have you.

Our listening volunteers can't be there for our callers without the fantastic skills that our shop and support volunteers have to offer.

You can read a little more on the main Samaritans' website here.

What's going on in Norwich?

As well as delivering our listening service, we support HMP Norwich and HMP Bure by training prisoners to provide emotional support to their peers.

Our Outreach team regularly deliver talks and/or training at schools, local employers and community groups.

We also have three charity shops that help us to raise funds and awareness of our service in the local community. And of course, we host the occasional fundraiser.
