We are still here for you

We are still committed to being here for women and girls who have experienced sexual violence.

We will continue to deliver services while keeping everyone safe so we won’t be meeting anyone in person.   

Our services that are usually delivered face-to-face, Counselling, Group Work and Practical & Emotional Support, are being delivered over the phone and and via online secure rooms to provide a face to face service.

We remain open for referrals for Counselling, Group Work and Practical & Emotional Support.  Once we have taken a referral a member of staff from that team will be in touch to discuss how we are working.  Please be aware there may be longer waiting times for some of our services.

Our Helpline and Email Support Services continue to be open at their usual times although at a slightly reduced capacity.
