Charity (no. 1168371)
Yeovil, Sherborne & District Samaritans
"We offer a safe place for you to talk any time, in your own way – about whatever’s getting to you."
Our branch has been supporting people in the local area, and nationwide, for over forty years. Volunteers come from all walks of life, with a wide age range, and spend three hours a week in our centre supporting all kinds of people who need a confidential, non-judgmental ear to listen at a tough time in their life. As well as contacting us by phone, we have email support and face to face at the centre.
We also work with a wide range of other groups in Somerset including Cruse, Yeovil District Hospital, local schools.
Whatever you're going through, call us free any time, from any phone on 116 123.
You can also contact us via email at [email protected]
We're here round the clock, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you need a response immediately, it's best to call us on the phone. This number is FREE to call. You don't have to be suicidal to call us.
1. A volunteer will answer
If you phone us, we answer with something like ‘Samaritans, can I help you?’.
With text, email, letter and face-to-face visits, how we respond to you depends on what you say.
2. You talk, we listen
We listen to you and help you talk through your concerns, worries and troubles.
We’ll focus on your thoughts and feelings rather than going into the details, so we may ask questions to help explore how you feel.
If you are interested in volunteering please see our website
As well as our listening volunteers, we have very valuable support volunteers who help with our fundraising, publicity, IT, committee. Whatever your skills we could use your help!
