Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of a charity before? A charity is a group of people who want to help others who might be having a tough time. The Samaritans are one of those charities.
They are a group of people who want to help those who are feeling very sad or having a really hard time. They do this by talking to them on the phone, through email, or even in person. They will listen to everything that person has to say and support them when they are feeling low.
The Samaritans are like really good friends that you can talk to any time and they will never tell anyone else what you've said. They keep everything confidential so that people can feel safe and comfortable to talk to them about anything.
The Samaritans also want to make sure that people know that it's okay to feel sad sometimes and that they are not alone. They have loads of helpful tips and advice to make people feel better and they also make sure that people know where to go if they need more help than the Samaritans can give.
So, in short, the Samaritans are a charity that helps people who are feeling down or upset by listening to them and supporting them, and making sure they know that they are not alone.
