Among all the Christmas noise, Lifeline is listening.

At Christmas, we often think about the people we love, the moments we share and the gifts we give. But for some, this time of year can bring loneliness, grief, financial pressure or feelings that are difficult to put into words. When it feels as though everyone else is celebrating, letting someone know you’re experiencing a crisis can be hard. Having someone who will listen, without judgement, can make a world of difference

Help us be there this Christmas.

Some of the most meaningful gifts can't be wrapped.

Throughout the festive season and all year round, Lifeline’s trained counsellors are here to listen to Kiwis across New Zealand who are experiencing distress.

Behind every call and text is a person reaching out in a difficult moment. They may need someone to hear them, help them feel less alone or support them to find a way forward. For more than 60 years, Lifeline has provided a free and confidential place for people to turn when they need someone to listen.

Your generosity makes a difference

Your donation to Lifeline will help provide free and confidential support to people reaching out in some of their most difficult moments. Whether it is a call from someone feeling all alone, a text from someone who doesn’t know where else to turn, or a quiet moment when someone simply needs to know that somebody is there, your generosity can help make that connection possible.
