Samaritans Awareness Day 2025 – 24/7 Listening, 24/7 Support

Samaritans Awareness Day

Every July, Samaritans volunteers host local activities to remind people they are here to listen, day or night, 365 days a year. This year’s Awareness Day on 24/7 invites supporters to:

  • Take on a 24-Hour Challenge – from gaming relays to Taylor Swift listening marathons, crafting sessions, sponsored silences and more. Complete your challenge on 24 July or any date in July that suits you.

  • Raise vital funds and awareness – every euro raised supports the Branch Development Fund, helping the 24 locations across Ireland and Northern Ireland answer a call for help every minute.

Participants receive a fundraising pack on registration, and those who hit a €200 target will receive an exclusive Samaritans tote bag.

Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to face it alone. Call 116 123 for free, email [email protected], or visit your local branch for confidential emotional support.
