SAMARITANS OF DERBY AND DISTRICT

Samaritans offers confidential emotional support 24 hours a day to those who are experiencing feelings of emotional distress or despair, including those which may lead to suicide. Samaritans listen and encourage the recognition and exploration of their options. We make our support available by telephone, email, letter, face to face, SMS, in prisons, schools and the wider community.

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
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
