Together Against Suicide
Brighton, Hove & District Samaritans are proud to be working in partnership with Brighton & Hove Albion. We’ll be there to listen on match days, and running an ambitious project to train 1901 fans to listen like a Samaritan.
If you want to talk to us in confidence we’ll be at all matches at the Amex, including beambacks, at The Medical Centre, next to east reception
Matches at the Broadfield Stadium – come and see us at the ticket portakabin
We’ll be there to talk before, during and after matches.
We’re here to listen. When you visit us, you’ll be welcomed by a friendly Samaritan, who will take the time to talk to and listen to you about what’s on your mind. The chat can be as long or as short as you like – whatever you need, and whatever makes you comfortable.
You don’t have to make an appointment or let us know in advance – just drop in on the day.
If you’d rather call us, you can do that anytime, any day. We’ll be there to talk on our freephone number 116 123.
We’re also delivering an extensive training programme for fans, where we will be introducing Samaritan listening skills. This is a truly ambitious project that we’re excited and proud to take on. We’ll be training a total number of 1901 Brighton and Hove Albion fans in listening skills, with a mix of face to face workshops and online webinars, to teach them how to learn to listen.
Our vision is that fewer people die by suicide.
Working from our branch in Hove, we’re 200 dedicated volunteers who support individuals and organisations, both on the phone and in the community.
Every hour of every day and night we are there for anyone who is struggling.
You don’t have to wait for a match day – you can speak to us anytime, 24/7. You can call us on 116 123 or email us jo@samaritans.org.
If you’re considering volunteering, we’d love to speak to you. Find out more about what to expect as a Brighton, Hove & District Samaritans volunteer.
