Scunthorpe Samaritans - About us

At Scunthorpe Samaritans, we are dedicated to providing vital support to individuals who are feeling upset, overwhelmed, or struggling to cope with life's challenges, including those experiencing suicidal thoughts. Our commitment to helping others is reflected in the fact that Samaritans' answer a call every 10 seconds and respond to thousands of emails every year.

This year, we proudly celebrate 60 years of Scunthorpe Samaritans - a significant milestone that reflects our longstanding dedication to the community. Based close to Scunthorpe town centre in Lindum Street, our branch serves the entire North Lincolnshire area. Our team of 75 dedicated volunteers, representing diverse backgrounds and life experiences, work tirelessly around the clock to ensure that Samaritans 24-hour service is available to those in need. We are continually seeking compassionate people who wish to volunteer with us and make a difference in our community.

In addition to our support services, we operate a charity shop on Ashby High Street, staffed by 25 wonderful volunteers. The income generated from this shop directly supports our activities within North Lincolnshire.

We also run a prisons outreach program and a comprehensive community outreach initiative, allowing us to extend our support even further. We invite you to learn more about our work and the impact we have on the lives of those we serve. If you're interested in finding out more or getting involved, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
