The Listening Place

Dec 12, 2022

The Listening Place is not a ‘drop-in’ centre – they see all of their visitors by appointment.

The charity says the world can feel like a very lonely place if you are feeling that life is no longer worth living: not only is it difficult to share those feelings but it can be hard to get the care and support that will make a difference.

The Listening Place offers a warm and welcoming environment; somewhere individuals can talk openly about their feelings, without being judged or being given advice.

Serendip Children's Home is supported by the Randal Charitable Foundation

Importantly, they provide on-going support from trained non-judgemental volunteers, which can continue over a number of weeks if this is appropriate.

The charity is also looking for individuals who have time to offer non-judgemental, warm, caring and empathetic support to their visitors.

In 2022 the Randal Charitable Foundation provided significant grant funding to deliver 800 face-to-face, 50 minute appointments with a highly trained volunteer - supporting 100 people.
