SAMARITANS OF EAST SURREY

Samaritans provides emotional support 24 hours a day by telephone, personal visit, email, text and letter through its branch network. This includes outreach activity at festivals, in prisons, hospitals, schools and with homeless people. Samaritans also promotes a better understanding in society of suicide. This branch focusses on East Surrey and the surrounding area.

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

Financial issues to consider:

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