Whether you’re feeling anxious, sad or scared, there’s one 24 hour service always there for young people: Childline. With young offenders calling from prison simply because they want someone to talk to, this is the reality that Nottingham Chidline Volunteers are facing on a daily basis.
With 78 volunteers in Nottingham currently, the service is in need of more volunteers to ensure that they can help all young people. Founded in 1986, Chidline has a confidentiality promise excluding extreme cases where someone may be in danger.
Nottingham Childline volunteers based in Cranmer Street, Mapperley, have spoken out about the importance of the work they do. Within the last year, the Nottingham Childline team has delivered more than 13,600 counselling sessions where they have supported children through a variety of problems including abuse and neglect, mental and emotional health, suicidal thoughts and more.
