Samaritans is the charity that prevents suicide through the power of human connection.
Connecting people in crisis with trained volunteers who will always listen.
People calling for change with those who need to listen.
People who've been there before with those struggling now.

Samaritans mission is to prevent suicide and to offer hope and support to those affected.
Samaritans Jersey is totally reliant on income from donations and fund raising. Your donations support our confidential, listening service for people in emotional distress, which is vital for preventing suicide and providing hope. Donations also help towards our community outreach, school programmes, as well as support for prison listeners.
In 2024 Samaritans answered 3.3 million calls for help. Over 23000 volunteers averaged 70000 calls per month.
Samaritans provides comprehensive training for its volunteers. It includes a six-week program covering active listening skills, adapting to different callers and how to handle calls effectively. The training is consistent across all branches and prepares new volunteers to support callers in need.
We run at least two informal information evenings at the Branch to tell you all about what is entailed and to answer all of your questions.
Due to the commitment required for study and revising for exams, it will be difficult to cope with the time required for Samaritans. So sadly, we will turn down your application.
