PEMBROKESHIRE SAMARITANS

Samaritans offer emotional and caring support to the despairing, depressed, lonely, and sometimes suicidal in Pembrokeshire and throughout the UK. Callers may communicate with trained volunteers by telephone, email and face to face. Our vision is that fewer people die by suicide. The service is available twenty four hours of every day.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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