Hello from Elgin Samaritans!

You can call us on 01343 543000 or 08457 90 90 90.
You can also contact us by email on [email protected].

Are you interested in volunteering for us? Samaritans is entirely dependent on voluntary support. It's a challenging experience and it can be very rewarding, knowing that you may have made a difference. We'd love to hear from you.
As well as being run entirely by volunteers, we also rely entirely on donations to keep going. Every call we answer costs us, on average, £2.47, and it costs £125 just to keep the branch open for 1 day. Without donations we simply can't function. So, if you can spare any change, or if you have an awesome idea for a fundraising event.
"Samaritans is here for anyone who feels they need emotional support at any time of the day or night.
"It can be a difficult time, especially for. those who
may have lost someone close, for the elderly living
alone, and for people living far away from their own
families, including people working here who are from
abroad."
Last year, 92%'of contacts to Samaritans were by phone - a total 2.4million calls in all. In 2007,as for every day of every year,the lines are open 24/7.
