Join us

In the next day, Samaritans Ireland will respond to almost 1,500 calls for help.

Behind the scenes, we will be working all hours to help people feel more hopeful about the future. We will strive to be seen and trusted by anyone who needs support, pushing for change to prevent suicide and ensuring that we remain fit for the future and that in five years’ time we can answer each and every person who is in need of support in the way that is most beneficial for them.

Of course, none of these plans can be realised unless individuals and organisations continue to choose to support us, whether through campaigning, sharing their experiences or volunteering, as well as fundraising or donating, and we are so thankful to everyone who does, even during the most difficult times.

We need your help. These are some of the ways you can join us to make sure fewer lives are lost to suicide:

• Please consider volunteering with your local Samaritans Ireland branch.
• Learn more about our work and speak to your family, friends, colleagues, and local politicians about what we do and why we do it.
• Help us raise funds to keep our telephone helpline open 24/7, and to allow us to develop other innovative ways of reaching out to people at risk of self-harm and suicide.
• If you ever find yourself in need of support, please ring us on 116 123.
