Night helpline for young people
Keep a free, confidential helpline open from 8 pm to 2 am, when young people say they need it most.
Young people tell us the hardest hours are late at night, when the house is quiet and the worries are loud. Most support services close at five.
Why it matters
A conversation at the right moment can change the shape of a night. Many callers simply need someone to listen without judging, and to help them find the next step: a doctor, a counsellor, a trusted adult, or simply sleep.
Every listener is trained for 40 hours and works with a clinical supervisor on call. Calls are free, confidential, and never recorded.
Reaching the goal opens the helpline seven nights a week for a full year. If you are struggling right now, please call your local emergency number.

Before you give
Questions about giving to a cause
Short answers. The FAQ has the rest, grouped by topic.
All questionsCan I choose where my gift goes?
Yes. A gift made from a cause page goes to that cause. A general gift goes where the need is greatest that month.
What happens if a cause raises more than its goal?
The extra goes to the same kind of work: more backpacks, more beds, more wells. We say so on the cause page.
What happens if a cause does not reach its goal?
We still spend every gift on that cause, and we tell you on the cause page what was funded and what was not.
