The Listening Place is open to people from all backgrounds, no qualifications are needed, just compassion and a willingness to listen.
Please be aware, all our volunteers need to be able to see our visitors face to face in one of our London locations.
We appreciate and celebrate the unique perspectives and differences of our volunteers. This allows us to provide the best possible support to those in need.

We are looking for volunteers who are compassionate, reliable, and non-judgemental.
Volunteers need to be resilient, but we take volunteer wellbeing seriously and offer top-quality support to those delivering our service.
Our application process is selective, as not everyone is suited to what we do at The Listening Place.
TLP is a special organisation. The volunteers are some of the kindest, most thoughtful, and devoted people I’ve had the pleasure to spend time with. Everybody is united in wanting to help others and I feel part of a wonderful community.
Feedback from one of our visitors about a volunteer
The volunteers are excellent at knowing when to listen when you’re talking and knowing the right questions to ask when you feel lost as to what to talk about.
Feedback from one of our visitors about a volunteer.
I can’t speak highly enough about the quality of the service I’ve received from TLP and in particular [my listening volunteer]. He is non-judgmental, supportive, compassionate, and a great listener.
