Rape Crisis England & Wales (RCEW) Live Chat Helpline

 

Our 24/7 Rape & Sexual Abuse Support Line is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year:

📞 Call free on 0808 500 2222

💬 Visit the website to start a free online chat

The 24/7 Support Line is a free phone and online chat service for anyone aged 16+ in England and Wales who has been affected by any kind of sexual violence, abuse or harassment – no matter when or where it happened.

It’s also a service for anyone who’s not sure what happened or is feeling confused.

Run by the national charity Rape Crisis England & Wales, the Support Line is staffed around the clock by a trained team of specialists. They are there to listen, answer questions and offer emotional support in confidence. This means that we won’t tell anyone else what you say to us (except in rare cases).

We are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

⚠️ The Support Line is not an emergency service. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent medical help, please call 999.

Once you are connected to an operator, you will have:

  • 40 minutes to speak on the phone.
  • 45 minutes to speak over online chat.

You do not have to talk to us for this long though – you can end the call or chat at any time.

To access the service, or find out more information, including opening times, please visit the RCEW website
