Nightline is a student run organisation and all our volunteers are trained in dealing with a variety of issues that students want to talk about. We offer a phone call service which any students can phone and talk to one of our volunteers, we are a non-advisory service but do offer support to students in a variety cases and are there for students who just want someone to talk to.
Our service is open every night of the academic year from 8pm – 8am, we are also an information service for students who need to find information on something specific such as finding a doctor surgery, university related problems and so on. We make sure that all information given will assist the person who is calling. We also have an email service in which students who feel uncomfortable talking on the phone can email us with any issues and our volunteers will contact you within 48 hours.
As well as this we have an instant messenger service that is open from 8pm – 12am which again is for students who might feel uncomfortable talking on the phone, but this service leads to quicker replies. Again with all the services we offer all our volunteers are trained and confidential in the service we provide. Our ultimate aim is to provide all students with a service in which they feel supported and have someone to turn to when they need to.
