24-hour National Domestic Violence Freephone Helpline

The Freephone 24 Hour National Domestic Violence Helpline is run in partnership between Women's Aid and Refuge.

It is a national service for women experiencing domestic violence or their family, friends, colleagues and others calling on their behalf.

The helpline can give:

• support;
• help; and
• information over the telephone, wherever the caller might be in the country.

The Helpline is staffed 24 hours a day by fully trained female helpline support workers and volunteers. All calls are completely confidential. Translation facilities for callers whose first language is not English, and a service for callers who are deaf or hard of hearing are available.
