It is affiliated to the national Samaritans organisation, and needs to raise £180k per year to keep operating and ‘keep the lights on’

It has over 100 listening volunteers & 30 support volunteers who give their time freely every month.

Volunteers answer over 1500 calls per month 24/7, 365 days a year, giving on average 450 hours on the phone per month to help callers at their time of greatest need. 

They are also active in the community by providing services and support to schools, hospitals, emergency services, community groups, businesses and also events in the surrounding area. Their Tyler House hub is the most vibrant in Stratford, with over 1100 visitors per month
