Yesterday, Lifeline received over 3,500 calls for help.
The message from the CEO of Lifeline, Steve Brogden, today, emphasised that in times like these, it is important to talk with others about your situation and how you are feeling; to ring a friend or loved member of your family – or whatever – just don’t take on your troubles alone.

That is what this World Service is about.

I hope you find as much inspiration and encouragement in it as I have had putting it together.
Special thanks to Rose, who provided much of the material that has given her inspiration over the last month.
