Northampton Samaritans took its first call over 45 years ago on the 12th February 1968. The service is needed as much today as it was all those years ago, as a listening ear for our local community, with ordinary people supporting those struggling to cope, round the clock, every single day of the year.

As a branch we are always looking for support locally so that we can be there, providing a safe place for people to be themselves and talk to us off the record about whatever is getting to them.

Being a volunteer can help change lives and we are always looking for people to help us provide this vital listening service. Why not pop along to an information session to learn more about becoming a volunteer, what we do, and ways you could help?
