We will be closed for the winter holidays from 5pm on Friday 16^th December to 9am on Monday 9^th January.

Support during the holidays

If you need support during the holidays, the Rape Crisis Scotland Helpline is open each evening from 5pm to midnight. The helpline supports people of all genders living in Scotland aged 13+ who have been affected by sexual violence, as well as family members, friends and partners.

You can contact the helpline on 08088 01 03 02. You can also text on 07537 410 027 or email at support@rapecrisisscotland.org.uk

If something has happened recently

If something has happened recently, you can contact the NHS sexual assault self-referral phone service for care and support on 0800 148 88 88 (open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week). If you are aged 16 and over, and are unsure whether you want to report to the police, this service may be able to arrange for you to have a forensic medical examination without reporting to the police. You can find out more information at www.nhsinform.scot/sarcs
