You can talk to a trained volunteer about anything – big or small – in complete confidence. We won’t judge you or tell you how to run your life: we’ll simply listen to whatever’s on your mind.
All our volunteers are students themselves, who have undergone extensive training and who understand that university life in London isn’t always plain sailing.
All calls and instant messages are completely anonymous, and phone numbers are not visible on our system. You don’t have to tell us your name or university. Everything that is said is kept confidential within Nightline and individual themes are never passed on to universities.
Call us to talk to one of our volunteers with no time pressure.
Calls to this number are typically included within free minutes packages, or they will be charged at your standard network rate.
We offer instant messaging directly from our website during our opening hours.

new volunteers trained up this year
London Nightline was set up by Imperial College students in 1971, after the deaths of two students by suicide. Students there felt that their peers’ needs were not being met and wanted to do something to support each other.
Inspired by the creation of Essex Nightline the year before, London Nightline began as a telephone listening service. More than 50 years later this is still a fundamental part of the service, although we also hear from students through instant messaging, email and Skype.
We are the largest of 30 Nightlines across the United Kingdom and together have a reach of 1.3 million students.
