Dunfermline Samaritans is a branch of the central Samaritans charity whose vision is that fewer people die by suicide. All our volunteers are recruited and trained in the branch to standards set down by the national organisation. We listen to callers who ring the national freephone number, seeking a safe space to talk through their concerns and provide them with emotional support. We listen to people in a non-judgemental way, empowering them to make their own decisions. As well as our telephone service, we provide face to face outreach in a variety of setting in West Fife. We also help train prisoners to be listeners in Glenochil Prison working alongside our colleagues from Kirkcaldy Branch.

Objectives: 3. Objects The objects of the Charity are: 3.1 To enable persons in Dunfermline and the surrounding area as well as elsewhere who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those who may be at risk of suicide, to receive confidential emotional support at any time of the day or night in order to improve their emotional health and to reduce the incidence of suicide. 3.2 To promote a better understanding in society of suicide, suicidal behaviour and the value of expressing feelings which may otherwise lead to suicide or impaired emotional health. and 3.3 To collaborate with and support Samaritans Central Charity and its affiliated branches in fulfilling these Objects.
