So many of the people who have texted Shout have never reached out to anyone else for support, so to know that our volunteers have been there for so many in their darkest moments of need is incredibly inspiring. No one should face their problems alone ❤️

[Mental Health Innovations @MHI_Charity]

👏Wow 👏

We’ve reached an incredible 2 million text conversations and supported 675,000 children, young people and adults across the UK with their mental health.

@SeraphineLtd Thank you, it's 15168825

@SeraphineLtd Hi, I returned an item two months ago & was promised a refund within 14 days. I still haven't received it and no one is answering my emails. So disappointing for a maternity brand - really don't have time to be chasing for my money back but especially with a newborn

“These one-off conversations, conducted through text messages, are vital. They’re saving lives.”

Thank you to @catreenaah from @CosmopolitanUK for spending time with Shout Volunteers to learn about the vital work they do 💙 https://t.co/AwYUQRSpHh
