We know that life can sometimes be incredibly tough. Thanks to the dedication of more than 20,000 volunteers, Samaritans can be there for anyone, whatever they are going through and whenever they are struggling to cope. We’re also at the heart of local communities, working with schools, workplaces, railways, prisons and hospitals to offer training and support, preventing suicide and helping people turn their lives around.

Our life-saving work wouldn’t be possible without the extraordinary generosity of our event participants.

Got a question about this event? Contact our Events Team at community&[email protected] and we'll respond as soon as we can.

About Skiddaw by Sunrise

Right now, people are struggling to cope. Help give them somewhere to turn when they need it most. Join us on a journey exclusively for Samaritans supporters and take on Skiddaw by Sunrise.

Hiking up Skiddaw (931m summit) with only torches and the moon to light the way will provide you with a huge sense of achievement. Seeing the sunrise across the Lake District will be a memory never forgotten! Upon our descent you will watch the changing colours of the peaks as dawn breaks, before tucking into a delicious celebration breakfast.
