”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, under the goal of helping others and I feel part of a wonderful community. I always look forward to going on shift and catching up with the other volunteers.

”The HV role is vital.
A Volunteer
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.
”It means the world to me, knowing that this level of care exists; like a super hope for the world but actually being a part of it. Seeing and being a part of a force for good, making friends, gave me something worthwhile to do and reignited my faith in humanity. That's why I HV.
