Cyprus Samaritans was established in 1997 and is affiliated to the International Network of Befrienders Worldwide, which operates in 38 countries over 6 continents.

Our trained volunteers provide listening and face to face support from our Centres in Paphos and Limassol. Our Charity shops cover the bulk of our income; the funds we need to sustain our service. Volunteers work in the two Paphos shops and the one in Limassol.

Our mission is to provide confidential emotional support to those who are feeling distressed, lonely or unable to cope, who would like someone to listen to them without being critical or judgemental.

You do not need to be in despair or suicidal to contact us. Sometimes it just helps to talk.
