PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ST HELEN'S STREET BRANCH IS CLOSED TO VISITORS

We've been proudly supporting the local community for around 60 years.

Most of the 80 volunteers at our branch on St Helen's Street in Ipswich are listening volunteers providing emotional support to those in need.

It doesn't stop at the branch, we also support people at local probation hostels, soup kitchens and prisons, and at major events like Suffolk Pride, Ipswich Music Day and Felixstowe Carnival.

In a typical year we will :

• Answer 20,000 calls
• Spend 4,000 hours on the phone

Our Support Volunteers do vital work that contributes to running our branch, including fundraising, administration, raising awareness and working at our shop on Carr Street, Ipswich.
