What are Rape Crisis centres?
Our 38 member Rape Crisis centres deliver free, local and specialist services to victims and survivors of all forms of sexual violence and abuse.
All of our member centres support women, while many also support other people. To find out who can access services at each centre listed below, please click 'See more' underneath the centre information.
ℹ️ To become one of our members, centres must prove that they meet our 2024 Rape Crisis National Service Standards (RCNSS).
Do all parts of the country have a Rape Crisis centre?
Some areas in England and Wales aren't covered by one of our member centres. This might mean there isn't a member centre that can offer you support.
Other support:
Anyone aged 16+ can contact our 24/7 Support Line by calling 0808 500 2222 or starting an online chat. Our specialist operators will listen to you, believe you and answer any questions that you might have.
You can also find self-help tools here.
Before contacting a centre:
Please make sure your area is listed under 'Areas covered'. If you don't see your area listed, try scrolling down to see if it's listed under another centre. If you don't see your area listed under any of the centres, this unfortunately likely means your area isn't covered by one of our member centres.
