Join us in celebrating Helplines Awareness Day on 23 February 2025
Helplines Partnership established Helplines Awareness Day in 2022 to highlight the invaluable work of helplines—services that are life-changing for many yet often overlooked.
Now in its fourth year, Helplines Awareness Day returns on Sunday 23 February 2025, and we’re determined to make it the biggest and best yet. With the day falling on a Sunday, we will raise awareness throughout the week from 17 to 23 February 2025.
We’d love for you to join us!
We’re celebrating the impact of helplines through the theme: The Power of Helplines. This includes:
- the power of talking—opening up and sharing feelings;
- the power of being listened to—knowing someone truly hears you; and
- the power of timely support —finding the right help when it’s most needed.
Throughout the week, we’ll be raising awareness of our Find a Helpline online directory, an essential tool for anyone seeking support.
If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone. Help is available.
