Good news 📢 Government has listened to our calls for a safer internet and announced today that it will make content that encourages someone to harm themselves illegal through the upcoming and long awaited Online Safety Bill. 1/3

Very excited to be running my first marathon next year in London with Team Samaritans! Keep an eye on my fundraising page to see me attempt to train for this, what have I gotten myself in for...! 2024tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/ellie-ball

On 2 Nov 1953, Samaritans answered our first call ☎️ 70 years on, we're more needed than ever. Last year, there wasn't a single second when our volunteers weren't on the phone. No matter how much time passes, the core of what we do stays the same: We're always here to listen 💚

We’re looking for people with lived experience of suicide, self-harm, bereavement by suicide or using our services to complete a survey about how you might want to be involved in working with us to design or develop research. Find the survey here 👉 bit.ly/466cpHW

❗ One week left: will the Government make the right decision? We’re outside Parliament today reminding them that local suicide prevention funding for England would only cost £1.40 per person. There’s no excuse to not keep it going. BIG change starts with small change! 1/2

💚 You can approach someone you're worried about. 💚 You can just ask a question and make small talk. 💚 You can just say 'Hello'. 💚 You can save a life. #SmallTalkSavesLives

1 in 5 of us have experienced suicidal thoughts, but suicide can be prevented. We can all play a part by looking out for each other. As charity of the year for the TCS TCS London Marathon, we’re tackling stigma around suicide. We believe in tomorrow, and together we can save lives.

Was so proud to be part of this amazing day and team 💚

It's not right that millions of people are facing hardship in the UK - and it doesn't have to be this way. 💚 The UK government HAS the power to fix this. Help us call for change 👉 bit.ly/3XzieLD

📢 The UK government is talking about making HUGE cuts to disabled people’s social security. Disabled people are already three times more likely to face hunger, and these cuts risk pushing even more people to food banks. Things don't have to be this way. There’s still time

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Tackling hunger and hardship could boost our economy and public finances by over £75 BILLION each year. The government has a moral and economic responsibility to end hunger in the UK. More in today's The Guardian — read here 👉 theguardian.com/society/2025/a…

🚨 BREAKING: 2.9 MILLION emergency food parcels were provided by food banks in our community in the past year. That's one parcel every 11 seconds.

Such a positive move from Bridget Phillipson & Liz Kendall! Food banks see so many struggling families miss out on this support. Our research shows 135,000 fewer children will now face severe hardship. Great first step, hopefully a more ambitious child poverty strategy to come.

New vlog👇We’re in Parliament. Over 700 people talking to their MPs about the hardship they’re seeing in their communities & asking them to support reforming Universal Credit & stop massive cuts to disability support. Trussell Joseph Rowntree Foundation

🚨 BREAKING: Over 14 million people faced hunger in the UK last year. That’s 2.5 million MORE people, compared to 3 years ago.

❗ More children are being pushed to food banks each day because of the two-child limit. No child should know what a food bank is, let alone need one. Ask your MP to write to the Chancellor to remove the two-child limit now 👉 bit.ly/4ovyIAj
