I am proud to be a #CrisisVolunteer as we launch @giveusashout today - #giveusashout at www.giveusashout.org to find out more about volunteering and join our incredible community. Give Us a Shout is a new text-based crisis counselling service that has been launched today. It is there to help support people in times of crisis - all through free texts sent from the privacy of your mobile Whatever your crisis, there are trained volunteers available 24/7 ready to listen and to help you move from crisis to calm. I have been involved since last August when I started my training - and I know it is already making a huge difference. I hope no-one here ever needs to use the service - but if you do, please do reach out. And if you are interested in becoming a volunteer, I would be delighted to talk to you about it. So proud to be part of this service.

Looks brilliant. Well done. I wish you and the scheme lots of luck and I feel better knowing it is there in case any of my family need it. I can’t volunteer, too out of touch with the young ‘uns but I will check out the website.

We have conversations with texters of all ages
