Inside the Night Light Cafe

by Pam Jenkinson – Night Light Cafe Project Worker

The Night Light Cafes are an out of hours, non-clinical support service for people who are struggling with their mental health. These safe spaces are hosted by teams of trained volunteers, who provide a warm welcome alongside a listening service and signposting advice.

But what does it look like inside our cafes? What would you expect to see?

We serve free hot and cold drinks and tasty snacks are always available!
You are always welcome, and the kettle is always on!
Our Team Leaders and volunteers wear lanyards or t-shirts to identify themselves. When times are hard being with other people can really lift your mood and our trained volunteers are here to listen
Some cafes have activities you can do to help you relax, such as craft, pool tables and quizzes. It’s a safe place to chat either in a small group setting or one to one with a volunteer.
