Glasgow Students' Nightline

We are open for the semester!

Opening hours:

Instant Messaging: Sunday to Friday (7 P.M. - 12 A.M.)

Phone lines: Sunday to Friday (7 P.M. to 7 A.M.)

Nightline is a confidential telephone, text, and online listening and information service run by trained students for the students of Glasgow University, Glasgow Caledonian and Strathclyde University.

Glasgow Students' Nightline is a member of the national Nightline Association. This ensures that our Nightline is operating according to best practice as decided on by the Nightline Association, mental health professionals, legal advisors, the Samaritans, and the Helplines Partnership.

For Mental Health Week, come see us in the GCU library’s Relax and Renew area (level 0 of library) this Thursday! We’ll be there to tell you everything you need to know about either using our service, or joining us in volunteering next term. Come say hi, we’d love to meet you! 💛

Want to learn more about Nightline? Come get to know us! We’ll be at Glasgow Uni Wednesday the 19th for a chat and to answer any questions you may have. Come say hi! We’d love to meet you 🥰💛

In addition to our stall, we’ll have a Wall of Kindness up where you can write a wee note of encouragement, suggestions, or anything you’d like! 💙📝📎 We can’t wait to read what you all come up with 💛

Do you have a go-to person to text when you’ve got a lot on your mind? Do they listen without judgement, and leave you feeling listened to and a little bit better after a chat? If someone came to mind, they might make a great Nightline volunteer!

We appreciate that being a listening volunteer isn’t for everyone, but maybe you know someone else who would be interested? If you have a friend who might not know about Nightline, or who just doesn’t know we’re recruiting right now, maybe give them a little nudge! 💛🤗

Go to our linktree (link in bio!) and click “refer a friend”. There you can anonymously refer a friend who you know is a great listener, and who would like to join Nightline. Just fill out the form and we’ll get in contact, letting them know we’re looking for new volunteers and that they might be a great fit! 😌

Want to join our team? Volunteering with Nightline is a wonderful way to make a difference for your fellow students here in Glasgow - and to make some great friends along the way! Send in your application via the link in our bio, and make this the year you volunteer! 😌💙

We’re open! ☎️

As the new term is rolling around, we are open and ready for everyone’s return to uni. Although returning to campus, getting back into your studies and reuniting with friends after break can be great, it’s also perfectly normal to feel a bit overwhelmed. If you’re struggling with something, or even if you just have some stuff you’d like to get off your chest, we’re here to listen 💛

If you feel yourself needing emotional support or a listening ear, you can reach us by phone SUN-FRI, 7pm-7am at 📞0141 334 9516, or via our IMs are open SUN-FRI, 7pm-12AM via our website at 📧glasgowstudentsnightline.com 💙

📌Mon-Fri
At GCU’s library in level 1, we’ve set up a Wall of Kindness. It’s an area where you can stop to have a look at the sweet little messages and maybe stock up on some motivation, inspiration, and hope! If you feel like you have any energy to spare, give a little back by adding your own post-it 💙📝

📌Wed-Fri
At Glasgow University’s library, on level 3, we have the same thing going on with another Wall of Kindness. Have a read-through, and write something kind that could help out anyone who might be having a rough day. We thank you in advance for participating! 💛

📌Thursday
Are you into boardgames, by any chance?🧩♟️🎲🃏 Well your time to shine has come! At Curler’s Rest, we’ll be having a games night with anyone and everyone who likes to shuffle some cards or roll some dice 🤞 Plus, since we’ll be in a pub, it’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a wee drink or some yummy pub food 😋🧃🍔

More events may show up as we go, so keep an eye out! Don’t worry, we’ll be sure to let you know 😉

The evenings are getting longer, and a lot of us are beginning to feel a little sleepy, and maybe a wee bit overwhelmed at times. Remember to take some time to rest, you are definitely allowed it! Take some deep breaths, concentrate on calming your mind, and maybe consider how your toes are feeling on the floor? in your boots? under your blanket? Listen to the sounds from outside your flat? The smells from your coffee, dinner, sweet treat? Deep breath, in and out. You’ve got this 💙
