Samaritan David visited Chichester District Foodbank last week to talk to volunteers about emotional health. He discussed the value of listening, shared tips on effective listening and (as it was National Cream Tea Day) enjoyed a cream tea with staff. We're proud to support the Foodbank

Huge congratulations to Dan 🏃‍♂️ who completed a half-marathon at Goodwood Motor Circuit on Sunday, raising over £570 for the branch! 👏 You can still donate to his JustGiving page here: justgiving.com/page/dan-grey

This Thursday is #SamaritansAwarenessDay, an important day to remind everyone we’re here 24/7 to listen. Our volunteers will be at the Bognor Regis Bandstand and Chichester Cross for most of the day. If you're passing by, come and say hello!

Would you like to do something incredible? We're currently looking for a new Fundraising Lead. The successful candidate will work closely with the team to develop and coordinate all our fundraising activities. Apply today by emailing [email protected]

We're at Chichester's Emergency Services and Community Day in Oaklands Park! It's been a busy morning, and we will be here for the afternoon, too. Pop by to say hello. Here is a photo of our director, Paul, being interviewed by V2 Radio.

Oyez! Oyez! Here are David and Dan with the Chichester Town Crier, Richard Plowman, at the Emergency Services and Community Day. The event, as you can see, was a lot of fun.

It's #WorldSuicidePreventionDay and we're sharing one important message: If you think someone might be suicidal, take action, interrupt their thoughts and show them you care. 💚 To find out how, visit samaritans.org/WSPD

Samaritans have been listening for 72 years. Volunteers all over the UK and Ireland will continue to listen today, tomorrow and for many years to come #72yearsoflistening 💚

Our branch director Paul recently gave a talk at the Bognor Regis Business Forum, held at Bognor Regis Town. Read more about the day – samaritans.org/branches/bogno…

Well done, Kent police !

We've been getting into the festive spirit. 🎅 At the weekend a few of our volunteers got together to enjoy a Christmas lunch in Chichester. It was a very merry way to celebrate the fantastic work of all our volunteers this year.

We are incredibly proud of William, Maisie, Ben, and Jacob, who will be running the Bath Half Marathon next year to raise money for our branch. They are running in memory of their friend Archie. Please consider donating to their Enthuse page: samaritanscommunity.enthuse.com/pf/bathhalf2026

Tonight has the most hours of darkness, making it the longest night of the year. But as always, our volunteers are here all night on the phones offering a little light in the dark for anyone who needs it.     You’re never alone, not tonight or any night. 116 123 📱

We had a Christmas get-together at the branch last week, giving our volunteers the chance to catch up over a mince pie and a glass of wine. Big thanks to Sharon and Susan, who made sure the branch looked suitably festive by putting up the Christmas trees! 🎄🎅🍷

Annual reminder that you absolutely don’t need to make any New Year’s resolutions if you don’t feel like it. Take the pressure off yourself and celebrate how far you’ve come instead 💚

Our branch had an amazing 2025! Here are just a few of our highlights. Thank you to everyone for their support of our branch over the last year. Bring on 2026! youtube.com/watch?v=mKg61t…

It's almost time for #BrewMonday 2026! On Monday 19 January, between 8:30am and 12:30pm, we will be at Chichester Train Station greeting passengers and reminding them of the importance of catching up with loved ones over a cuppa. See you there!
