Mission

Our vision is for every student in higher and further education to have access to the support offered by Nightline services so that: every student is able to talk about their feelings in a safe, non-judgmental environment; fewer students have their education compromised by emotional difficulties; fewer students die by suicide. Our mission is to raise the quality, profile, availability, and accessibility of Nightline services so that every student is aware of, and has access to, confidential emotional peer support, as well as the opportunity to volunteer for a Nightline.

Additional Information

Nightline Association is the charity for Nightlines and exists to support, promote and develop Nightline services. Nightlines offer listening support to students. Nightline volunteers cover the phones throughout the night, when other specialist university welfare services are closed and allow university students to talk about whatever’s on their mind. Some Nightlines also offer support via email, IM, text or face-to-face. Each individual Nightline is run by students for students at their university. As the specially trained Nightline volunteers are students, they can directly empathise with their callers’ problems. They don’t judge, they don’t give advice, and they certainly don’t tell callers what to do – they just listen. Best of all, Nightline is confidential and anonymous, meaning students accessing the service don’t even have to give their name.
