What are Rape Crisis centres?
Our 38 member Rape Crisis centres provide free, specialist support and services to local women and girls who have experienced rape, child sexual abuse, sexual assault, sexual harassment or any other form of sexual violence.
Some centres also provide support to local men and boys.
Do all parts of the country have a 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.
