    Hey folks it's looking like we'll only be able to open Support Chat this evening due to a mod cancellation.

    We've done a volunteer call-out so we'll let you know if anything changes. Apologies!

    @Leyla and @Katie Is there no general day time support chat on Friday ? Also will I be able to use the school leavers chat even though I left school and college years ago? I still maybe have stuff to talk about like things can be harder being on your own 2 feet, also I might be able to support others.

    Hey @Redemption the School Leaver's Chat is replacing the General Chat on Friday as a one off and it's the only chat we'll be running that day.

    And yes you're definitely able to join if you would like but it will have a focus on leaving school. So you're more than welcome to join and chat about your own experience of when you left school and maybe offer some words of advice.

    Howdy all,

    We've moved this week's Sunday Support Thread a little earlier to 11am-12:30pm because we're going to be running at least 1 Chat in the afternoon 3pm-4:30pm. We're still finalising if it'll be a General Chat or Support Chat so we'll let you know as soon as we have it decided.

    Another update - we've had a drop out for chat tonight so as it stands we can only run Support Chat, but we will do a call out and let you know if anything changes!

    I have a question for @TheMix. Are the afternoon chats staying after July? Ik you said it was a trial, so I was just wondering if they were gonna stay bc evening chats are still a bit up in the air atm.

    Hey @independent_ thanks so much for your question. You're absolutely right - evening chats have been a bit precarious lately, and we've been talking as a team to explore how we can address this because its not ideal at all!

    In the meantime, I'm really glad to confirm that our Friday day-time Support Chats will 100% be continuing. It's been fantastic to see so many of you there, and we're really eager to keep that going.

    Any questions, please keep them coming everyone! We're here to support!
