    Hi Folks,

    I'm here to wish you all well for the year ahead and let you know a bit about our organisation. You may have heard of us, maybe you haven't. In any such case Niteline is an anonymous, confidential, non-directive and non-judgemental listening service that has been offering a friendly ear to students for over 15 years now.

    We run under the basis that we offer a viable alternative for people to turn to: we all go through tough spots at various stages of our lives, including college, and it's natural that we talk about it to get things off our chest. Everyone does it - you need only think about the last time you were stressed and remember who you turned to - we all need to be heard.

    Sometimes the greatest of friends don't always make the greatest of listeners. Other times you want to get things off your chest but prefer not to go to friends or family about it. Rather than being allowed to express what's bothering you you're given advice, dismissed or even mocked over an issue that's dismaying you.
    Thats why we're here.

    Our volunteers are trained to deal with a great deal of issues and for students of all backgrounds. People will often associate us as a last resort but more than often we're also a first port of call.

    We hope it's a great year for you and that the tough times are few and far between but if you ever do need someone who will just listen we're here throughout the term:

    Freephone 1800 793 793 (won't show up on your bill)
    Thursdays - Sundays: 9pm - 2.30am
    Mondays: 9pm - 1.30am
    (Term time - starting Sept 24th)

    We're also looking to recruit new volunteers at the moment. If you're interested in signing up visit our webiste www.niteline.ie. Please note that we do not take first year students.

    Best wishes,

    The Niteline team

    Just to say tomorrow (Sept 30th) is the last day we're taking applications for becoming a volunteer.

    We do ask for a two year commitment from people but I can personally say its a great experience. If you're interested in helping others while meeting new people then you should consider joining up with us.

    Regards one and all,

    Niteline

    Running nights as usual for the rest of the semester, Easter break and exams. If you see the Niteline bear on campus during the semester, pop over to it and demand a lollipop.

    Please feel free to give us a call during our opening hours if you would like to discuss something, or if you'd like information with regards to specific services should you be looking for some options.

    Mondays: 9pm- 1.30am
    Thursdays - Sundays: 9pm - 2.30am


    Freephone: 1800 793 793

    As we always say; no matter is too big or too small.

    Hey,

    Hope you're all well.

    Niteline would like to gauge your views on a few matters in a survey, which can be found in the link below. It should only take a minute to complete and would greatly help us in our bid to continue improving our services. Your participation will be anonymous and will be very greatly appreciated.

    Please feel free to give us a ring during the term if anything, whether its big or small, is bothering you. That's what we're here for.

    Best wishes,

    The Niteline team.
