Festival Branch Samaritans is funded by a central grant from Samaritans . Our membership is made up of people from all over the UK, including Northern Ireland. As we are a mobile branch we find it hard to raise funds in the way that most branches raise their money. Each branch of Samaritans is a separate, registered charity.
