Show your customers you care about their wellbeing.
Samaritans is the UK’s #1 listening and emotional support brand and one of the most trusted and well-loved charity brands in the UK. We are multi-channel (phone, email, online chat and walk in) and there for anyone, anytime, whatever they’re going through.
We believe in the power of human connection.
We support people facing any challenge affecting their wellbeing and life including mental or physical health difficulties, loneliness and isolation, financial and job worries, bereavement and relationship issues.
We’re needed more than ever. More of us are worried about uncertainty in our lives and this can increase anxiety levels. Not all of us have someone to talk to about something that’s worrying us and even if we do, we can still feel crippling loneliness and need a kind ear to listen to us. We help people look after their mental and emotional wellbeing, so they are less likely to reach crisis point – that’s why Samaritans is here.

Mental health and exercise
It's been scientifically proven that regular physical activity and exercise can make us healthier and happier. When we're active, the body releases feel-good hormones that can improve our mood and boost our energy. Exercise can also help to reduce feelings of anxiety and other difficult feelings. There are lots of different ways to be active, whether you are starting off with a brisk walk or trying a free online exercise class indoors. Setting goals with others is a great way to stay motivated.
At Samaritans we have a range of fundraising events that encourage those who can to get active. This includes our very own Samarathon and Dawn Walk, the London Marathon, cycle events and much more.
Mindfulness and self-care
Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present in the moment, and being aware of your thoughts, emotions, and sensations. It encourages a deeper connection with the present and can help reduce stress, enhance self-awareness, and promote overall wellbeing.
Self-care is different for everyone, but it’s a great way to give yourself a break and do something that makes you feel good. It could be getting out daily for some fresh air, hitting the gym, spending time with a pet or taking a nice long bath. Even stepping away and taking a five-minute break over a cup of tea could help you relax and recharge.
Our Samaritans Self-Help App can help you track your mood, and includes practical tools, tips and techniques to help you look after your emotional health and wellbeing.
The power of human connection
Human connection is the spirit that runs through everything we do at Samaritans – it defines us. We understand the power of human connection and how talking can help when you’re finding life tough. We encourage, promote and celebrate those moments of connection between people that can protect and even save lives.
You could help us raise awareness of the power of human connection and encourage people to seek help if they’re struggling by supporting campaigns such as Brew Monday, or coming up with your own.
Together, we could make a change that saves lives.
