Sligo Samaritans

Sligo Samaritans is a charitable organisation dedicated to offering confidential emotional support to anyone in the Sligo area who is feeling distressed, alone or in crisis. Operated by a team of trained volunteers, the service provides a free telephone listening line, ensuring that callers can speak openly without any cost or obligation. The helpline is available every day from noon until 9 p.m., giving consistent, reliable access to a compassionate ear whenever it is needed.

In addition to its core listening service, Sligo Samaritans welcomes community members to join its volunteer programme, allowing individuals to contribute to the vital work of emotional support. As an Irish company limited by guarantee and a registered charity, the branch upholds the Samaritans' national commitment to mental-wellbeing, fostering a safe, non-judgemental space for those seeking help across Sligo.
