Samaritans

Nestled in the heart of Wellington, Samaritans has been a beacon of hope and compassion for over three decades. As a welfare organisation, we've dedicated our existence to providing emotional support to those in need, day in and day out. Our mission is simple yet profound: to offer a confidential helpline that listens actively, without judgment, to anyone who needs someone to talk to. We understand that life can be overwhelming, and sometimes all it takes is a reassuring voice on the other end of the line to help you navigate through your darkest moments. Whether you're grappling with feelings of despair, struggling with relationship issues, or simply needing someone to share your joys and triumphs with, we are here for you. Our dedicated team of volunteers is the heart of Samaritans. They bring their unique stories, experiences, and empathy to every call they receive, providing the non-judgmental support that our callers desperately need. Our doors are always open, and our lines are answered 24/7, because we know that help can't wait, especially in times of crisis. But we're not just a listening ear; we're also a community of care. We offer volunteer opportunities for those who wish to make a difference in someone else's life. By joining us, you become part of a family that truly understands the power of empathy and active listening. We extend our support to all, regardless of age or circumstance. Whether you're going through a tough time as a parent, trying to figure out your place in the world as a young adult, or simply needing someone to talk to, we welcome you with open arms. We've been there for countless babies, parents, and everyone in between, and we're honored to be here for you too. Samaritans is more than just an organisation; we're a sanctuary, a safe space where you can find understanding, empathy, and support. So, if you need someone to talk to, remember that help is just a call away. We're here, ready to listen, ready to support, and ready to make a difference in your life.
