Be there for people who desperately need someone.
Our incredible volunteers run more than 200 branches and locations across the UK and Ireland. They offer their time to help to deliver our 24-hour emotional support service to callers in many ways, from answering telephones and emails, to fundraising, generating publicity, administration and finance.
You don’t need to have been through a particular life experience or be from a certain walk of life. Anyone who wants to help others, is tolerant and open-minded is welcome to apply.
What you get out of being a volunteer?
Listening volunteers are there for anyone who needs someone. Every year, they spend over 900,000 hours responding to calls for help and they can change the course of someone’s life.
Above all you’ll have the incredible satisfaction of knowing you’re helping people who are in despair. In addition, you’ll learn valuable new skills, make new friendships, and be part of an amazing group of people.
This role is to provide confidential emotional support for people experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those which may lead to suicide.
We would love you to join our amazing team at Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre branch.
Samaritans's vision is that fewer people die by suicide.
