24 Hour Crisis Care

Our service provides 24 hour immediate crisis care and support for anyone who has experienced a recent sexual assault (in the past 14 days) and needs urgent support.

Our caring and experienced staff can assist in helping you to consider the options that are available to you such as reporting to the Police, receiving medical care, making a police statement or having a or forensic medical examination.
