Welcome to Central London Samaritans

Open 24 hours a day - every day of the year

Samaritans offer confidential support to anyone passing through a crisis or thinking of taking their own lives. We offer time and space for people to express their feelings, helping them to talk through their options and find a way to face the future. We are not a religious or political organisation. We listen, we don't judge and we don't offer advice.

Central London Samaritans is the largest branch in the UK with purpose built premises located in the heart of Soho where Samaritan volunteers talk to callers 365 days a year on the phone, by email or face to face.

If you're in need of our support, you can visit us between the hours of 9am and 9pm.

Alternatively, you can telephone or email anytime, 24 hours a day, throughout the year. We are also just starting a new SMS texting service.

Whether you need to speak to somebody about difficulties in your life, or whether you are interested in becoming a volunteer at Central London Samaritans, we hope you will find the information you need on this website.
