Price Bailey is proudly supporting Samaritans to help ensure there is always someone there to listen to anyone struggling to cope.
Our partnership began in April 2023 after the accountancy firm reinstated its charity partnership initiative following the pandemic. Focussing on staff fundraising efforts and volunteering, the partnership aims to help ensure Samaritans’ vital service can continue to be there 24/7, as well as enhancing the firm's mental health and wellbeing activities.
I’m pleased to announce our decision to support Samaritans as our charity partner, which also marks the re-introduction of our Charity Partnership initiative following a break during the pandemic. Here at Price Bailey, we’re passionate about well-being, working hard to support our people through trained Mental Health Ambassadors and our 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme. For some people, they don’t have anywhere to turn in times of crisis, and that is where Samaritans can provide a lifeline to those in times of need. The passion and commitment to mental-health support displayed by the Samaritans team resonated with the values of our organisation, and we look forward to working with the charity in the future.

Price Bailey colleagues have taken on incredible challenges so far to raise vital funds for Samaritans, including climbing Mera Peak in Nepal and the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge.
In June 2023 a team also took on an epic motorbike ride from Land’s End to John O’Groats. Setting off at sunrise they completed the amazing 840 mile trip in 14 hours and 49 minutes.
Further fundraising events and volunteering opportunities are planned throughout the partnership, including a firm wide Charity Day in October 2023 when all staff will be able to take part together to raise funds and awareness for Samaritans.

Our partnership with Price Bailey will help Samaritans to meet ever-evolving demands for support as we continue to live through uncertain and worrying times for many. It’s thanks to the amazing support of our partners, like Price Bailey, that we can continue to invest further in our services, ensuring we can be there, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. This partnership will further drive our efforts to help more people, and we can’t wait to see what we will achieve together.

In 2022, there wasn’t a single second when Samaritans weren’t on the phone to someone. The funds raised through the partnership will ensure we can continue to be there for people, whatever they’re facing. Together we can make change that saves lives.
