About The Listening Place
The Listening Place provides free, face-to-face, 100% confidential support for people who’re struggling with their mental health and are having suicidal thoughts. All of the support which The Listening Place provides for their visitors is delivered by highly trained volunteers and offers a warm and welcoming environment; somewhere individuals can talk openly about their feelings, without any judgement. Since opening in 2016, we have received over 13,000 referrals and we now deliver over 100 appointments a day across two sites (with a third opening in April 2022).

The Listening Place's Achievements / Goals
Their ultimate goal is for anyone who, for whatever reason feels life is no longer worth living, can find a place with a warm and open listener where they can talk freely and openly.
Our Time With The Listening Place
We have been working with The Listening Place for 5 years now and it has been an amazing journey with them!
When The Listening Place first joined us, we started off with a full account review and an audit of their offices to work out how we could improve their current IT set-up. We then went on to suggest lots of new IT equipment and infrastructure which would really benefit The Listening Place and their efficiency when it comes to IT. Below are a few of the major projects which we have completed for The Listening Place;
Completed Projects
- IT Support Contract
- New Laptops and PCs set up
- Cyber Security & Cyber Essentials Certified
- Moving them into 2 new offices and setting up any IT infrastructure which was needed
- Photocopiers installed
Upcoming Projects
- Migrating to SharePoint Online
- Implement Azure AD and Microsoft Intune
