My name is Liza, and I’m the Service Coordinator for this year. I’m in my final year studying Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience. In this role, I oversee the smooth running of Nightline, support our volunteers, and ensure we continue offering a high-quality and confidential service to the Nottingham student body. I’m passionate about mental health and also run the Nightline podcast, where I collaborate with other societies to discuss student wellbeing. I’ve been part of Nightline for three years, and it’s been an amazing community to be part of. I’m excited for another year supporting students and working with such a fantastic team.

I'm Blake, and as Support coordinator, I get to jointly oversee the running of the service, particularly making sure that everyone involved in the service is supported properly and looked after. Nightline is a wonderful service both for the callers and the volunteers and I look forward to helping it continue and grow.

I'm Lauren, the Welfare Officer for Nightline this year.  I am going to be handling all things wellbeing, alongside the Support Coordinator. This includes assuring all members of the service feel comfortable and safe whilst supporting students on shift, managing welfare logs, concerns and training as well as being a point of contact if and when needed.

I love Nightline because it’s such a great cause and providing accessible mental health support is so important, it’s a big passion of mine. Plus everyone who is part of this service is amazing and I’ve met so many lovely people through it.

As General Secretary, my role is organise committee meetings and take minutes within them! I also place orders for the lovely stash that committee wear. I have been involved within NL for two years now and it’s been the best thing I have done with my time at uni!

Analysing and organising numbers is something I greatly enjoy hence my role as treasurer. I hope to help our volunteers have everything they need to provide the best service possible. Joining Nightline has made me see the positive impacts it provides for our community and I hope to aid our mission by dealing with the 'dreaded' maths and numbers so we can put our energy to helping people.  

My name is Vadims, and my job (and Hazel's!) is to manage the rota, making sure that as many shifts as possible go ahead!

NL is awesome because it makes the university feel like a real community. The fact that, at any point in the dead of night, I can call someone who is happy to listen to whatever I have on my mind...it's kind of crazy, when you think about it.

Hi everyone, my name is Hazel and I’m one of your Rota Officers this year! My job is to help coordinate the rota, make sure the service runs smoothly and keep us open as much as possible. I’m a 5th year medic, and when I’m not studying, I love anything outdoors, from hiking and climbing to wilderness medicine! Nightline is a fantastic organisation and I can’t wait to be part of the committee again. I joined Nightline in memory of my beautiful friend and because it makes such a difference to people :) Please feel free to reach out to the service at any time - we are here to support you!

Hello my name is Aiko, and my role is rota officer for trainees so my job is making sure everyone training has a first shift and that it’s all gone well. The best thing about it is meeting all the new listening volunteers and making sure it’s as fun as possible. I love Nightline because it’s full of amazing people who just want to help by listening with no judgement. 

Hi! I'm Mags (they/them) and along with Ria I'm one half of the training team here at Nottingham Nightline. Jointly, we're responsible for recruiting new listening volunteers, and training them up to be able to take any of the calls that we may. It's a lot of fun, and I really enjoy getting to be part of the team that keeps NL going. NL is amazing because we're all just ordinary students and work together to make this really special service exist, it's an idea I try to carry into other parts of my life. You make such friends working here together, even when it's tough, and you do get to make a real difference to some people.

Hi I'm Ria, and as a Training Officer I get to welcome in all the new volunteers to Nightline. We ensure that each new member has received the necessary training to be able to handle calls and will be able to provide callers with useful support so they get a good experience out of using the service. We do this through organising the applications, interviews, training groups and the training materials! Nightline is a fantastic service, it provides students with a free, non-judgemental place to share their thoughts and feelings. This wouldn’t be possible without volunteers being trained to a high standard, and that’s what we hope to achieve!

Hi, I'm Lacey, and I’m delighted to be given the role of marketing officer for NL this year and I’m so excited to start making a difference! I hope to create engaging and relevant content for the NL Instagram page, providing UON students with the most up to date and consistent information so they can trust in the service as much as we all do on committee. NL is an incredible student-led organisation very close to my heart and I’m so proud to be a part of it!

Hello, Im Michelle, one of the publicity officers which means my main role is raising awareness for Nightline, whether that’s showing what it means to be a listening volunteer or promoting what we offer to students. Being a part of NL has allowed me to create a safe space for uni students to feel heard while also allowing me to meet a great group of people I might not have had the chance to meet otherwise

As a committee member I think I have a strong responsibility to help new nightliners settle in and feel part of the society as best as possible while being there to talk and listen if anyone is struggling with joining. Specifically as publicity officer the responsibilities consist of helping spread awareness in the university of the society so people who may want to volunteer are aware of how to sign up and get involved and also so that people who may want to use the service are aware of how to get in contact with us overall helping the outreach of the society. I chose to join nightline because I wanted to be part of a society which can make a lasting positive difference at university and I think there are very few which are as helpful as nightline in this regard. 

As fundraising officer, I am focused on developing innovative strategies to ensure the sustainability of the service!  Nightline is an incredible organisation  because it operates discreetly yet makes a significant impact, offering students reassurance in knowing support is always available when needed. 

Hi, I’m Pallavi and I’m a Fundraising Officer this year! I’m responsible for raising funds to keep Nightline running as amazingly as ever. I also want to increase awareness of the service so others have the chance to get involved and bring their unique talents, and so more people know about the support we offer. Nightline is special because it’s a place that will always listen, and I’m excited to help it continue being that safe, invaluable space for others!

Hello, my name is Hannah! I am the Information and Policy Officer for this year, which means I oversee all the different policies Nottingham Nightline uses! I'm responsible for making sure all our policies are useful and relevant so that the service can run smoothy and efficiently. I think Nightline is so special as it provides a safe space, ran by students, where students can call and talk about whatever is on their mind and really offer that support to whoever needs it.

I help to find solutions to make NL services more accessible both for callers and for our volunteers. It is important for all people to feel safe and comfortable so the service can be as effective as intended. So I am aim to continue finding ways to optimise and diversify the service. NL is an incredible charity and provides a necessary space for university students to find solidarity and support when going through such a transformative, often challenging part of life. I’m excited to be part of NL and contribute to the kind space the service provides. 

Hi! I’m Renee and I’m final year medical student. I’m your Technical Support Officer this year which means that I mainly work on the backend to sort out any technical glitches we come across in any of our services. While I’m not on placement, you can probably catch me running or at the gym! I’m been a part of Nightline for three years now and I look forward to another great year of working with our lovely team :)

I'm Lucy, and this year as facilities officer I ensure our office that we operate out of is well looked after, stocked with everything we need, and complies with the UoNSU health and safety standards. 

Nottingham Nightline is such an awesome organisation as we are completely student ran, and we are here to support only other students! I think this makes us much more approachable as a service, and also super unique!
