Night Light Cafe - Market Rasen

05/01/2026

We're always looking out for new volunteers - see the post below for info & contact details. Please share with anyone who you think might be interested and would fit our volunteer spec. Thank you :)

Happy New Year Market Rasen!🎉✨️

Looking for a new challenge or opportunity to give back to your community as part of you New Year resolutions?

Night Light Cafe - Market Rasen needs more volunteers to help develop the service we provide - are you told you're a good listener? Do you have lived experience of poor mental health, but currently in a good place and stable for at least the past 6 months? Can you offer 3-4 hours of your time once a fortnight? Would you like free training in Mental Health Awareness, safeguarding and have a little extra to put on your CV?

YES? Then we'd love to have a chat! Message this page or email nightlightcafemarketrasen@gmail.com to start the ball rolling. Applications from gents particularly welcome, we don't have any male volunteers at present, and find some guests prefer talking 'man to man'.

Please share this with anyone you think might be interested. Thank you 😊

We are definitely OPEN tonight, despite the cold, thanks to our intrepid volunteers!

Here 6pm to 9pm for anyone struggling or finding life difficult. No need to book a slot, just drop in at any point. We'll even meet you outside if that helps, we understand how intimidating it can be making that 1st big step.

We made it through another year! 🙌

Wishing all of our volunteers, guests and supporters more of the good things and less of the bad ones in the year ahead. We are grateful for all of you.

Happy New Year to all our volunteers, supporters, followers, and guests past present and future.

May 2026 bring new opportunities for making lots of happy memories ✨️

If you'd like support to take steps to improve your mental health, we're open every Monday 6pm to 9pm, no need for official diagnosis or booking, just drop in.

Did you know that there's a Night Light Cafe somewhere in Lincoln or the county every night of the week - check out the listings at https://haylincolnshire.co.uk/ or the NHS website https://www.lpft.nhs.uk/ for more immediate support services.

.... last night! From now on, days start getting lighter, but so gradually we might not notice. It's a good metaphor for life, that " the light at the end of the tunnel' might not be visible right now, but it is there. If you need some support to hang on til it does come, or help getting back on track, we're here every Monday 6pm to 9pm. And there's a Night Light Cafe open somewhere in Lincoln every night of the week, weekend included.

Yes - it's our annual celebration post for SAD sufferers - things only get better from here!

A couple of edible heart-warmers on offer tonight at Night Light Cafe - Market Rasen 6pm to 9pm... are you team savoury 🍞🍲 or team sweet🫕🍫?? (it's ok to not choose and just have both! 😉😋😁)

Open to anyone 18+ feeling like they could use some good company and a warm smile to chase away the winter blues. Simply drop in or pm us and we'll meet you outside 🥰

This time of year can be extra difficult to navigate for all sorts of reasons... if you need a little help finding your way, Night Light Cafe - Market Rasen meets at Market Rasen New Life Church every Monday 6pm to 9pm staffed by trained volunteers to shine a light, or simply sit with you to listen and help you find the glimmers of joy to encourage you to keep on keeping on ✨️

No one is measuring your ‘festive’.
It is not a badge of honour.
And none of the ‘stuff’ matters, truly.
But what does matter is you.

You deserve to feel as much of the good things as you’ve shouldered the bad.

And I know it seems impossible to imagine sometimes but joy is waiting to sneak in for you. In the simple moments of ‘nothingness’. You just have to let her.

She doesn’t need you to usher out grief or sadness, she simply needs you to let her join the party.

Without her, life is just too hard. Let her in. Let it all in.

✨️THIS!✨️👇 our sister cafe in Bourne makes a brilliant point. We open on Mondays at the same times, but you can drop us a pm or simply turn up at any point.

Even without watching I'm a Celeb, this message is great to see on prime time national television, and importantly, it feels so genuine.

Jack Osborne has been showing strong emotions when talking about memories and the loss of his father, Ozzy, only a few months ago. The response of his camp mates has been heartwarming. They have all given him the space to express how he feels, validated how he feels and comforted him the best they can.

That's what our amazing volunteers do, create a safe space where visitors can express their emotions, feel validated for doing so and beyond that, help to consider necessary signposting and/ or referrals

Come see our team, Monday evenings 6pm until 9pm,

or email enquiries@dontlosehope.co.uk to book time between 6pm and 9pm with a listener on Wednesday evenings, though appointments aren't necessary, it will guarantee one to one support

Evening ☺️ we are definitely OPEN tonight 😀

It's 🥶 outside, but you'll find a warm welcome, hot drinks, soup and sweet treats. Mindful activities, someone to talk to and signposting to further help if appropriate.

No booking required, just turn up any time between 6pm and 9pm.
