PETERBOROUGH & DISTRICT SAMARITANS

24/7 listening service provided by Volunteers for suicidal callers, by telephone, email and face to face. We aim to help anyone suffering from emotional distress and offer a totally confidential service.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
