We believe in giving a person the opportunity to explore feelings which can cause distress, the importance of being listened to, in confidence, anonymously, and without prejudice.

About us

Our Fundraising Campaign

Every 40 seconds, a life is lost. This winter, we are joining forces with our members to fight the global crisis of suicide. This collective fundraiser ensures the international network of Befrienders can provide critical, non-judgmental emotional support to anyone facing a crisis, anywhere in the world.

Your support funds the volunteers and technology that keeps this lifeline running. Help us ensure no one is alone in crisis, across the world.
