Nightline is an important student-lead listening service that many Universities run, and LifeSIGNS has always been pleased to provide self-injury training to Nightlines across the UK.

London Nightline is unique among Nightlines as it provides its service across all of the Universities of London, not just one campus.

I was very pleased to be invited to London Nightline’s 35th Anniversary Dinner earlier this month (5th June) and it was a great night for London Nightline, and a great night for my networking! (I always have a LifeSIGNS business card on me!)

I met up with Danny (former LifeSIGNS Director and former Nightline worker) and we got our poshest suits on. Reception drinks and mingling for a while, and then we were seated. Everyone on our table quickly made friends, and I was pleased to find I was not the only non-Nightliner at the table, as SANE had been invited too.

We had our meal and then David Blunket MP, Dr. Raj Persaud and Esther Rantzen spoke about their lives and their appreciation of what London Nightline has achieved and continues to achieve.

Awards for service and dedication were given out, and although our table was the loudest by now, two of our party were honoured with awards, so well done Tom and Andrew!

Oh, and there was of course the raffle, which I won, twice! When does that ever happen? Anyway, I gave the London gym membership prize to my table-mate and new friend Helen.

A good night was had by all (and a long night it was once we hit the bars) and if your University doesn’t have a Nightline, I suggest you contact National Nightline and set one up immediately.

Many thanks to Ellen and all Nightliners for their services to students; LifeSIGNS is one of the few organisations that London Nightline chooses to link to from their website.
