TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their report and financial statements together with the independent examiner's report for
the year ended 31 March 2025.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTivrriES
The purposes of the charity are:
to enable persons in Dunfermline and the surrounding area, as well as dsewhere. who are experiencing
feelings of distress or despair. induding those who may be at risk of suicide, to receive confidential
emotional support to improve their emotional health and to reduce the Inciden￿ of suicide;
to promote a better understanding in society of SUiGide, suicidal behaviour and the value of expressing
feelings which may otherwise lead to SUlGide or impaired emotional health" and
to collaborate with and support the Samaritans Central Charity and its affiliated branches in fulfilling these
objectives.
Samaritans, vision is that fewer people die by suicide. We work to achieve this by making it our mission to
alleviate emotional distress and reduce the inciilence of suicidal feelings and suicidal behaviour.
ACHIEVEMEKfs AND PERFORMANCE
Oryanlsatlonalstruclura
The Board, which is responsible for the management of the tharity, nomi8lly meets around four times per
year.
Day-t(xlay management of the Branch is delegated to the Branch Leadership Team ('BLf). The BLT
normally meets bi-monthly.
Volunteers
Our Branch is wn entirely by vdunteers. Without them. our Branch would not exist. As of the end of March
2025 there were 51 vofunteers (up from 47 at the end of March 2024) with a further 6 probationers undergoing
training; comprising 48 who are primarily listening volunteers providing frontline support lo callers and 3 who
are support volunteers. The reality is that many of our volunteers, whether they be listening or support
volunteers, carry ¢)ut additional roles in:
management and leadership of the Branch.

outreach activities in the local community;

r8cruitment, selection, training and Mentoring of new Samaritans.
This year also saw volunteers successfully carry out t￿0 critical, resource heavy back-offI￿ activities. In
quarter 3 we successfully transitioned over from using landlines to answer calls from those in need of our
service to a new Samaritans wide intemet based listening ¢8ntre, This implementation provided both callers
and listening vdunteers with several Servi￿ improvements, induding better call quality. Then in quarter 4 v

engagement with Disclosure Scotland. This additional safeguarding measure was successfully Gompleled by
the deadline of 31 March.
Llstening servic•
The SamaTitans 116 123 telephone helpline is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and fomis the principal
means through which the charity engages with and supports those needing our help. Our Branch activdy
supported the helpline. Our Branch is open for volunteers 5 days each week and during that time offers some
52 hours of available shifts. This year our Branch handled just short of 8500 calls for help, with our volunteers
providing ovar 2000 hours of emotional support responding to those calls.
Outr&￿￿ - In par¥on
Our Outreach activities continued to grow again this year and are now back at pre-covid levels of
engagement, providing direct emotional support and raising awareness of Samaritans in the local community.
Amongst the many activities that we were involved in, we:
provided emotional support and awareness to staff and students at Frfe College, during ljoth Freshers
Week and as part of the College's Recharge Festival;
promoted and supported IoGally, through an information stall at Inverkeithing Rallway Station, the national
charlty's Small Talk Saves Lives campaign;
played an active part in the Fife Health and SoGial Care Partnership mental health awareness week wlth
presence at three local community centres; and
responded to many other requests from dubs, org8nisations (such as Queen Margaret Hospital) and
public, prfvate and communlty bodies (Induding the Dunfermline Children's Gala) for stands presentations
and advice.
We have been 8uccessful in encouraglng more of our volunteers to complete outreach training. Additionally,
several volunt88rs have slgned up for an advancèd outreach training programme that will provide a foundation
for deliverlng face to face support; these sessions take place during Summer 2025.
Ou¢fv•Gh- •waren•ss rnlslnB
In addition to factrlfrface outreach, vrfe continued to deliver tsrgeted awareness of our seplices through
focused local advertising. A key component of this is our ongoing relationship with Dunfermline Athletic
Football Club. As well as investing In pitch side advertising for the 2024-25 season we arranged an
Awareness Day at the teams home SPFL Championship game on Saturday 28th September to promote
Samarftans. We promoted, along wth Kirkcaldy BTanch, a campaign on Kingdom FM (which then became
Orlglnal 106 (Fife)) radio in the two-week run up to Christmas, reminding people that Samaritans are there to
listen, if they are feeling overwhelmed with the financial and emotional pressures that Christmas can
sometim8s bring. W8 promoted several Samaritan and other &qmpaigns through our channel on X and our
website. such as Samaritans Awaraness Day. and we ran adverts and artides in the Dunfennline Press and
Fife Central Times. We post weekly on X to our circa 850 followers.
Prfson
Our prison team continues to support the Samaritans, prisoner listening scheme in Glenochil Prison. We do
this in conjunction with volunteers from Kirkcaldy Branch. Our prison activities have been running successfully
for several years.
Recrultment and tralnlnq
Our ￿CnjItrnent and training teams had a busy and productive year. Ensuring we can provide sufficient well-
trained volunteers to provide our Servi￿ is critical and Is an ongoing challenge. During the year. we ran two
recruitment drives using local print and social media to raise awareness. Overall. we had 38 expressions of
interest in becoming a listening volunteer. Information evenings and inter4iews were held, after which 16 new
volunteers progressed, in two tranches, to train as new listening vdunteers.

The training team held a training day in Oclober to farAlitale Ihe re-introduction of peer-t￿peer mentoring
within the Branch, fL41owing ￿lCh several peer mentors were traine(l. The aim is for all listening vdunteers lo
be peer mentored by the end of 2025 and thereafter on a r(Aling annu81 basis. The training team is also
reswsible for ensuring volunleers meet mandatory training requirements. A new mandatory Equity, Diversity
and Indusion module was rdled out in January for vdunteers to complete by end June 2025.
