24 July (24/7) is Samaritans Awareness Day, because they’re here to listen 24/7. On this date and throughout July, Samaritans will be running their awareness-raising campaign Talk to Us, to remind people that they’re here for anyone who needs someone to listen.  The whole month of July is now known as “Talk to Us” month.

Every year in July, Samaritans branches in the UK and Republic of Ireland hold local events to raise awareness that Samaritans are here to listen to anyone who’s struggling to cope, at any time of the day or night.
