When you’re struggling with your mental health, evenings and late nights can feel especially overwhelming. That’s why Lincolnshire Night Light Cafés exist—safe, welcoming spaces that offer out‑of‑hours emotional support for anyone aged 18 and over. These cafés provide a calm environment where you can talk, be heard, and find connection without judgement.
Night Light Cafés are non‑clinical, meaning you won’t be expected to discuss medical details or receive formal treatment. Instead, they are staffed by teams of trained volunteers who are ready to listen, offer reassurance, and help you feel less alone during difficult moments. Whether you’re facing a mental health crisis or simply need someone to talk to before things reach that stage, the cafés are here for you.
Referrals can be made by agencies, organisations, or emergency services, but you don’t need a professional to access support. You can self‑refer easily by calling 0300 011 1200. Once connected, you’ll be guided to your nearest Night Light Café, where a warm welcome is waiting. To find a café location directly, you can also visit the link below.
Night Light Cafés support people at all stages of their mental health journey. Some guests attend to help prevent a crisis, using the space as a chance to decompress, talk things through, or simply sit in a supportive environment. Others arrive already in crisis, needing urgent emotional support and a safe place to express how they’re feeling. In every case, the volunteers offer compassion, understanding, and time.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or in need of a listening ear, remember you don’t have to face it alone. Lincolnshire Night Light Cafés are here to offer comfort, connection, and hope—exactly when you need it most.
