Pembrokeshire Samaritans

Samaritans offer emotional and caring support to the despairing, depressed, lonely, and sometimes suicidal in Pembrokeshire and throughout the UK. Callers may communicate with trained volunteers by telephone, email and face to face. Our aim is that fewer people die by suicide. The service is available twenty four hours of every day.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

In its accounts for the year ending 31 March 2026, the charity named 2 funders who gave £2,000 between them. £1,000 of that came from public bodies.

These figures were read from the accounts the charity filed with the Charity Commission by Claude, an AI model, in OpenEconomy's accounts reader. AI can misread a table, so check the accounts on the register before relying on a figure.

Only funding the accounts name with an amount is included. Most charities also have income from donations, fees and trading that is not listed by funder, so this is part of its income.

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 5 grants to this charity since 2022, worth at least £5,500.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.
