Important information about the Crisis Line The Crisis Line has now closed. The Samaritans are available 24 hours every day on: 08457 909090 (National number) 01865 722122 (Oxford number) 01295 270000 (Banbury number) We have run the Crisis Line service for many years and so it is with some sadness that we closed the service at the end of March this year. The level of use of the Crisis Line has dropped by half over the past three years despite extensive work publicising the line. We have also experienced serious difficulties with volunteer recruitment and have been struggling for some time now without a full team of volunteers. When the service was set up in 1998 there were very few services available in the evening and fewer places for people to turn to for help. Over the last few years more services have extended in to the evenings and there are new services available to some people in crisis that weren’t around when the Crisis Line was first set up. The Oxford branch of Samaritans now have a permanent base on Magdalen Road in Oxford where they see visitors as well as running the helpline. To help people needing help in a crisis we will be producing a special information booklet with contact points which will be distributed from March 2008.

Publications To celebrate Oxfordshire Mind's 40th anniversary we commissioned a booklet on the organisation's history from its founding in 1967. Download a copy here.
