Essex Big Bash · 16 July 2025

Opening in 1963, Southend Samaritans has been supporting the local community for over 60 years. We have over 80 volunteers some having been with us for more than 40 years. We’re here, day or night, for anyone who’s struggling to cope, who needs someone to listen without judgement or pressure. Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide.

Story

Every 10 seconds, Samaritans responds to a call for help.

We’re here, day or night, for anyone who’s struggling to cope, who needs someone to listen without judgement or pressure.

Samaritans is not only for the moment of crisis, we’re taking action to prevent the crisis.

We 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.

We 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 we work tirelessly to reach more people and make suicide prevention a priority.
