Samaritans of Bournemouth & District

The Samaritans give people ways to cope and the skills to be there for others. And we encourage, promote and celebrate those moments of connection between people that can save lives. They offer listening and support to people and communities in times of need.

In prisons, schools, hospitals and on the rail network, Samaritans are working with people who are going through a difficult time and training others to do the same.

Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide. That’s why they work tirelessly to reach more people and make suicide prevention a priority.
