Telephone Aid Line Kingston (TALK)

Volunteers

The phone lines at TALK are staffed by trained volunteers who believe listening makes a difference, and can be a valuable service to anyone. Our volunteers provide a range of services on the telephone lines from crisis management to providing information about other services available in the community. Our volunteers do not give advice, we provide support and a safe place to talk.

Our volunteers care and are here to listen!
