Support Chat (8-9.30pm): A place to talk about anything on your mind in a safe, supportive environment. 

General Chat (8.9.30pm): A place for more light-hearted chat about pretty much anything be it TV, music, the weather, that hilarious video you saw on YouTube etc. 

Support Circle (7.55-9.30pm): Support Circle is a Support Chat of no more than 6 people, where everyone takes it in turns to share while the rest of the group listens. We have places for people who want to come and get support or attend as listeners. You can sign-up here.

I have got a suggestion would you mind making the chats a bit earlier because i struggle to make those times because of my health which means I’m normally in bed at that time

Thanks for the suggestion @Durhamjaide. Fedback is always welcome.

The timings of group chats are designed to be late enough for most people to be back from work or school, but early enough for the majority of folks not be asleep. There will always be exceptions to that and our schedule might not be super accessible to people with different routines. Apologies - it sounds like that's the case for you.

We don't currently have any plans to adjust these times, but we're always looking at things we can change in the future and we'll keep this in mind. You're not the only one to ask for different timings so we'll take this into consideration.

If you need a bit of support outside of those hours, the boards are always open and you can reach our 1-2-1 team from 4-11pm every day via phone, webchat or email.

Just a heads up that only support chat is running. Lauren just told me that there was no cover for general chat. Sorry everyone! Usually it is the other way round though.

 A tad @OnlyAlex. It tends to get a bit sketchy around Summer/September because our volunteers are busier and might be going through life transitions (e.g. to uni). We try and plan recruitment around it but it doesn't always work out! We've got some new folks coming on board now though.
