About Bognor Regis Chichester and District Samaritans

Your donation will help ensure that people in crisis have confidential support day and night, every day of the year, by enabling us to recruit and train more volunteers, and to increase public awareness of our services.

Our volunteers are trained to provide a listening ear, in confidence and without judging, to anyone who is going through a difficult time, including those who may be suicidal.

Anyone, young or old, can contact us by phone, or by visiting the branch, to talk through anything that may be trioubling them. Some people find it easier to write their feelings down, rather than talk about them, and our email service is the preferred medium for many young people.
