Why can’t I get through to Nightline?

If you’re calling on number unavailable, we are currently unable to accept these kinds of calls. We understand that this can be a comforting feature of our service for a lot of callers, but please be reassured that we do not store phone numbers unless they are abusive to our service. 

We aim to be able to take number unavailable calls in the future, and we will update our platforms when this is the case.

Who can I contact if you’re not open?

If you need to speak to someone, you can text the word ‘Shout’ to 85258 for free and confidential 24/7 support with whatever is on your mind.

If you wish to speak to someone over the phone, you can call Samaritans on 116 123, or Suicide Prevention Bristol on 0800 689 5652.

Please head to our alternative services page for full details about other services you can contact if you’re in need of support. If your life is at imminent risk, please call 999 for immediate help.
