Edinburgh Nightline
Edinburgh Nightline is a listening, emotional support and information charity, run by students, for students.
We operate a call service and an instant messenger service, open from 8pm till 8am for 5 days a week: Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We aim to support students across Edinburgh, with backing from Edinburgh’s Higher Education Institutions – the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Napier University, Queen Margaret University, and Heriot-Watt University.
The first Nightline was founded in 1970, aiming to address high levels of stress, anxiety and suicide amongst local students at Essex University. The idea quickly spread and, in 1973, Edinburgh Nightline was founded. Today there are 36 individual Nightlines in the UK and Ireland, made up of over 2000 specially trained student volunteers. Over 1.5 million higher education students now have access to a confidential, anonymous, non-judgmental, non-directional and non-advisory listening service should they ever need it.
