North London Rape Crisis Helpline Volunteer
Solace Women's Aid
We work with women who have experienced any form of sexual violence at any time in their lives.
The NLRC Helpline provides information about survivors’ options and referrals into our support services. We also offer callers up to an hour’s emotional support a week. Our Helpline is supported by our amazing volunteers. In the last quarter, we supported 394 callers, but we still miss around 40% of the calls we receive, due to not having sufficient cover. Can you help us to support even more survivors? We are looking for volunteers who can commit to regular shifts, for roughly a year, for the following times: Mondays 10am – 2pm Tuesdays 10am – 1pm Wednesday 1pm – 5pm Thursdays 1pm – 5pm
