Carefully selected and trained volunteers deliver fortnightly, 50-minute appointments, supporting visitors for at least three months and up to a year. TLP is open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year except Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Since the charity was founded in 2016, it has received over 30,000 referrals.
