Helpline Support

What you can expect when you call

Our helpline number is 0800 33 4 55 00.

When you call the helpline your call will be answered by one of our specially trained female support volunteers. They are there to listen and support you to talk about whatever is on your mind.

We are here to listen to you and believe you 100%. We will never judge or question you.

We know it can be very hard to take that first step and call; we respect this and will never push you to talking about anything you do not want to.

We are here to help you explore your thoughts, feelings and what options you might have. We can give you information about those options, but we will never tell you what you should do. We will support you to decide for yourself what is right for you as an individual.

Our Helpline number is a free phone number.

Who can call?

Women, girls, men and boys who are currently experiencing sexual abuse or harassment

Women, girls, men and boys who have recently been raped or sexually assaulted

Women, girls, men and boys who have experienced any of the above in the past, no matter how long ago it happened

Partners, family and friends of people who have been raped or sexually abused

Please see panel opposite for details of helpline times. 

What if the helpline is closed when I call?

If you call outside the helpline hours you will hear a message explaining when the helpline is next open.

We have a 24 hour answer machine and you can leave your details if you wish to be called back when the helpline is next open. Please only leave a number if it is safe to do so. If we are unable to get hold of you at the next helpline session we will delete your details and you will then have to call back.
