We're The Listening Service Edinburgh

The court can be a daunting place and, although court staff are there to help, they are very busy. The Listening Service Edinburgh volunteers offer time to listen and support those who are finding their experience at court difficult, stressful and confusing.

A Space to Share and be heard

At The Listening Service Edinburgh, we offer non-judgemental and confidential listening support to anyone who needs it. We understand that sometimes in life, the best thing that we can have is someone to talk to. Our team is present in the public areas of the court on weekday mornings and Monday afternoons. Coming to the Sheriff Court can be a daunting experience and The Listening Service Edinburgh is there for everyone who would appreciate some support.

"You have kept me so calm. I didn't know how I was going to cope. Can't thank you enough" 

"You and your colleagues are wonderful - you have been so caring to me" 

"How can I thank you for staying with me. I'm very grateful"
