From one of our helpline volunteers: 

“I am constantly moved and heartened by the number of people reporting to have had their lives positively affected by Yes to Life.  Many people feel that we were their “lifeline” “a light at the end of a tunnel” or helped them to find “inspiration to continue” when they felt hopeless.  I am told time and time again that the service we provide is unique. I find volunteering on the Help Line immensely satisfying.”

What can you expect as a volunteer with Yes to Life?
