WELCOME GUIDE 2015 Nightline Street Team “Sometimes we need someone to simply be there… Not to fix anything in particular, but just to let us feel we are supported and cared about” Street Team is a volunteer service that makes sure that students who have been working late on campus or who have been on a night out in the Union who don’t want to walk home alone, don’t have to. Student volunteers are fully trained and do an amazing job in supporting students to get home. Coming to University, returning or for the first time, can be a difficult time, it is a big change to make, and with it comes lots of challenges and responsibilities. It can be a daunting experience, and feel very lonely; but having someone who wants to listen to whatever you want to talk about, in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental setting can really help. Keele nightline does just that between 9pm and 3am every night of term, providing an anonymous listening service for you, at a time when other services are closed. You’ll see the team in and outside of the Students’ Union – say hello when you see them and do ask them to support you in getting back to your Hall – it’s what they are there for.
