Without volunteers, The Listening Place would not exist. Our volunteers provide all the support for individuals struggling with suicidal feelings and are at the heart of our organisation.
We seek empathetic, caring, and resilient individuals who are willing to help others and who have the time to offer consistent, non-judgmental, face-to-face support.
We invite people from all backgrounds and communities to join our diverse and inclusive teams, which strive to provide the best possible support for those experiencing suicidal thoughts. Join our team today and help provide support to people during their most challenging times.

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. I always look forward to going on shift and catching up with the other volunteers.
A Volunteer
“The Helping Volunteer role is vital. It is the first in-person contact a visitor has with The Listening Place. I pride myself on trying to deliver the most unpressurised, warm welcome anyone can give and show the level of care and attention a visitor will receive while with us.”
A Helping Volunteer
“It means the world to me, knowing that this level of care exists and that I am a part of it. Seeing and being a part of a force for good, and making friends, has given me something worthwhile to do and reignited my faith in humanity. That’s why I HV.”
