Our final post for 2025!

Thank you to Dee’s Fish Bar and Hot and Spice for feeding our visitor's on Monday evening. Hugely appreciated by everyone! An after Christmas chip supper has become a successful annual event for us, for which our visitor's are really appreciative.

From us, a huge thank you again to our Night Light guests, volunteers, and bakers! We are approaching our 4th birthday, which is just amazing, considering it was a 12 week pilot scheme! It just goes to show the importance of support being available in the community, and the value of the team that provide that support. We are also hugely grateful to be able to host this service at Dont Lose Hope

And now, our focus turns to the new year. If you're feeling fired up for making changes or tackling new challenges, you've got this! If you're feeling overwhelmed with people getting motivated to change or transform, new year new me etc. Please remember, it's just another Thursday! If all you can do is survive it, that is more than enough. You are enough, just as you are.

However you're feeling as we move into 2026, it's ok. We are here for you, with no judgement, just a listening ear along with a cuppa and a sweet treat!

We are back to our regular opening hours next week, 5th January, Monday evenings 6pm until 9pm, and there are appointments available for Wednesday evenings, 6pm until 9pm by emailing enquiries@dontlosehope.co.uk

You're going to come into contact with an awful lot of people who are at their absolute breaking point this season.

Friends, family, coworkers, teachers, strangers in the street, retail and hospitality workers, plus many more. While it may be the merriest time of year for some, it's the saddest, loneliest, most stressful and most heartbreaking for so many others.

We're all busy, but we're not too busy to be kind, caring and patient. Remember, the best thing you can give someone right now, is love

If you need a time out, please come and see our trained listeners, Monday evening from 6pm until 9pm, or email enquiries@dontlosehope.co.uk to book an appointment on Wednesday evening, between 6pm and 9pm.

Even without watching I'm a Celeb, this message is great to see on prime time national television, and importantly, it feels so genuine.

Jack Osborne has been showing strong emotions when talking about memories and the loss of his father, Ozzy, only a few months ago. The response of his camp mates has been heartwarming. They have all given him the space to express how he feels, validated how he feels and comforted him the best they can.

That's what our amazing volunteers do, create a safe space where visitors can express their emotions, feel validated for doing so and beyond that, help to consider necessary signposting and/ or referrals

Come see our team, Monday evenings 6pm until 9pm,

or email enquiries@dontlosehope.co.uk to book time between 6pm and 9pm with a listener on Wednesday evenings, though appointments aren't necessary, it will guarantee one to one support

Happy International Men's Day!

Today is to recognise and celebrate the positive impact of men and boys on society, while also raising awareness of issues that disproportionately affect them, such as mental health, su***de, and abuse. The day promotes positive male role models, encourages healthier conversations about masculinity, and advocates for men's well-being.

Please see below signposting to all kinds of support available, and of course, our Night Light Café is open this evening too.

Are you one of the many people with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)? You don't have to have another recognised mental health illness to experience SAD, it's something that affects a lot of us as the days get shorter and darker. We've posted some of the signs of SAD and some of the things you can do to help.

If you already have a diagnosis, it's helpful to remember that SAD can make the symptoms of other forms of depression or anxiety worse, so if things are getting tough, please speak to someone you trust and to your GP.

And remember our Night Light Café is open every Monday and Wednesday evening. You are always welcome.

Our Empowerment group starts again on the 4th December 6pm - 8pm. See Poster for more info.
