Samaritans Awareness Day toolkit

24 July is Samaritans Awareness Day, because we’re here to listen 24/7

On Samaritans Awareness Day and throughout July, we'll be raising awareness to remind people that we’re here for anyone who needs someone to listen.

We aim to share one simple message: Samaritans are here 24/7 for anyone who is struggling to cope. Talk to us, we’ll listen.

“I felt like I had no one to turn to. There was one night that I remember was really bad. It was the middle of the night, and I couldn't call anyone I knew because it was around 3am. I called Samaritans, I didn’t really know what I wanted to talk about, but I just wanted someone there, so I didn’t feel alone in that moment. The volunteer stayed on the phone and listened to me – let me cry and asked all the right questions without pushing me. To this day, I’m so appreciative of that Samaritans volunteer – she saved my life.”

Internal news copy

If you are planning to raise awareness for Samaritans this July, please feel free to use and adapt the internal news copy below to remind colleagues that Samaritans are there 24/7 for anyone going through a difficult time. 

Throughout July, Samaritans will be raising awareness to remind people that they are there 24/7 for anyone who is going through a difficult time or is struggling to cope.

Every 10 seconds a Samaritans volunteer answers a call for help. There’s no typical person who calls Samaritans’ helpline and there’s no typical problem that people talk about. No issue is too big or too small. Their extraordinary listening volunteers offer a safe and non-judgemental space for those who need to talk through whatever it is they are facing.

We are proud to support Samaritans, an incredible cause that is needed now more than ever. To show our support, we will be raising awareness on social media throughout July, as well as marking Samaritans Awareness Day on 24 July.

If you’d like to get involved, you can also help to raise awareness by sharing Samaritans’ messaging on your own social media to let loved ones know that there is free support out there.

Remember, when life is difficult, Samaritans are there to listen day or night. You can call them for free on 116 123, email them at [email protected], or visit www.samaritans.org to find your nearest branch.
