Welcome to Bournemouth & District Samaritans
We don’t know when you might need us, that’s why we’re open 24 hours a day
Samaritans provides confidential non-judgemental emotional support, 24 hours a day for people who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those which could lead to suicide.
Whatever you’re going through, whether it’s big or small, don’t bottle it up. We are here for you if you’re worried about something, feel upset or confused, or just want to talk to someone.
We offer our service by telephone, email, letter and face to face in Bournemouth branch.
