The SARSVL helpline will be open over the winter period as usual, with just 2 closures over the bank holidays of Monday 27th December and Monday 3rd January. We know that this period in particular can bring up lots of feelings that can be challenging. However you feel over the festive period is valid. We’re here to listen to and support you if you’d like to call text or email us.

You can also contact the Rape Crisis England and Wales Live Chat service throughout the winter period and the national Rape Crisis England and Wales helpline. For more information on their opening times please click here.

We know that it can feel overwhelming. So we though we’d also share the Survivor’s Trust blog  ’12 tips for surviving Christmas’ which has tips for your self care over the festive period. We can recognise that this time can be challenging for us yet there are still ways we can look after ourselves, build new and nourishing traditions and be ourselves. Click here to read the blog.
