THE SAMARITANS OF DORSET AT WEYMOUTH

Our vision is that fewer people die by suicide with our mission being to alleviate emotional distress and reduce the incidence of suicidal feelings and behaviour. To enable persons in Dorset, the surrounding area and elsewhere who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those at risk of suicide, to receive confidential emotional support at any time of the day or night.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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