For over 40 years, 24/7, trained volunteers have been there, listening and caring. When you consider that Samaritans gets almost no Government funding or assistance, you can appreciate the importance of any help you can give.
There are three ways you could help:
- With a donation
Samaritans are all volunteers, but we need funds to support our services and pay for everything from the power bill to the phone lines that people call us on, 24/7.You can make a donation online with your credit or debit card, using Paypal's secure payment system.
You can donate by cheque. Please print off this remittance page, fill in your details and mail to Samaritans, PO Box 12100, Thorndon, Wellington 6144.
- With a bequest
Some people may have a little 'spare' money they can leave to a good cause. Making a provision in your will can help ensure that Samaritans can continue to be only a phone call away. If you would like to consider Samaritans for a bequest, contact our office on 04 472 3676 for a brochure. - With your time
Each year, we need people to help us collect donations in our street day appeal. This is held in August each year. You could help us collecting – it’s a way to meet the nicest people!
