The Listening Place

The Listening Place is an award winning suicide prevention charity, providing ongoing face to face support for those who feel life is no longer worth living. It is somewhere individuals can talk openly about their feelings without being judged or being given advice. This support is free and confidential.

We rely on trained volunteers to provide this vital service, and we need warm, empathetic and caring individuals who want to help others and have the time to offer ongoing support.

Our vision is is that anyone who, for whatever reason feels life is no longer worth living, can find a place with a warm and open listener who will give them time.

Our mission is to provide those who feel life is no longer worth living with a safe place to come and talk freely and confidentially to warm, non-judgemental volunteers who are willing to engage with their feelings and support them through their darkest times.

Our values are that we are caring, collaborative, courageous, resolute and respectful.
