Helpline

 

Please note, the helpline will be closed on Friday 18th April and Monday 21st April 2025.  We will reopen on Tuesday 22nd April.

 

 

Call us on our free phone number 0800 448 0710 or use the Rape Crisis Free national helpline:  0808 500 2222.

 

We understand how difficult it can be to pick up the phone and ask for help, but the helpline is here for any woman or girl who has been affected by sexual violence at any time in their lives.

 

Confidentiality is at the heart of our service, you don’t even have to give your real name to use the helpline.

 

It’s a chance to talk to a woman worker who will listen and understand. We won’t judge you, we’re here to offer support and help. 

 

You can use the helpline throughout your journey of recovery.

We have call back support sessions,

 

Where possible we will try to contact women during their stated availability, we also run a "by and for" call back support line for service for Black, Asian and Minoritised survivors.

 

The helpline is also a good place to get information about all the different services we offer here at BRC & SASS, and we can also signpost you to other services if you wish.

 

When you get through to the answer phone, please remember to leave your name, number and the best times to call you back.   We'll call you back as soon as possible. 

Another useful resource is the National Rape Crisis helpline which is open every day of the year, 24 hours a day - call free on  0808 500 2222
