Call us - we are here to listen Bay of Plenty

Lifelink / Samaritans

In the past 12 months we have answered nearly 3,500 calls. We take calls covering a wide range of issues: relationship problems, loneliness, addiction, health and mental problems.

Call us on 0800 726 666.

We are a listening ear that can make all the difference between life and death. Our volunteers have been providing this invaluable free service to everyone who needs it since 1973. We receive calls across all the age groups – from teenagers to over 50-year-olds.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for the Samaritans we would love to hear from you. Please register by email to Meg Sillay at rotorua.lifelink@xtra.co.nz. Full training is provided.

To support our life-saving service, donate on our Givealittle page.
