NIGHT LIGHT CAFES

The Night Light Service is an NHS commissioned project which hosts ‘cafes’ in different churches across Lincoln every day of the week. Night Light Cafés also run around the county in partnership with churches and charities in each location. The cafes are hosted by teams of trained volunteers who provide a warm welcome in a peaceful environment created to calm those who attend.

This is a non-clinical, out of hours mental health support service for people who are finding life difficult. Our volunteers offer a listening ear and provide signposting advice to guests.

To access this service, or to refer someone for support from Night Light, please call 0300 011 1200 or email nightlight@actstrust.org.uk.

Guest Feedback

I have no family and very few friends. Sometimes I wonder what is the point in carrying on. The support from Night Light has kept me alive these past few weeks.”

“You have all been wonderful with me. When I thought I couldn’t be helped, you were there for me.”

Referrer Feedback

“I cannot champion the Night Light Service enough. My client has been in a very dark place and attending the cafe where he was given food and support has given him hope to carry on living.” – Social Prescriber
