Listening Works
Listening Works is a national support line for Care Leavers, provided by Family Action. A team of trained volunteers cover the line between 6pm – Midnight, seven days a week and respond to calls, texts and web chat messages. Volunteers are supported during their shift by a staff supervisor who is always on hand to provide additional support or guidance.
The service offers care leavers
· A listening ear
· A friendly voice
· A chance to talk to someone who won’t judge you
· Signposting to useful resources – what support is out there and how to get it
