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, however, the best of friends don't always make the best of listeners. Sometimes you just want to express yourself while your friend/relation thinks that you're looking for advice, or doesn't really appreciate what you're going through. Rather than being the one who's reflecting on the issue you're told what to do, what not to do and in some cases just dismissed by the people you should be able to talk to if something's bothering you.

At other times matters come up that affect you but you'd prefer not to go to certain friends or family about it. We're here for all you in that regard.

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 getting involved within a club or society but would also like to help people in a voluntary capacity then Niteline might be for you. We ask for a two year commitment from people but many people stay on for longer.

If you're interested in signing up visit our webiste www.niteline.ie. Please note that we do not take students who are in first year.

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 interested in helping others while meeting people then you should consider signing up.

Regards one and all,

Niteline

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

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.
