LGBT+ helplines and support for domestic abuse and violence

This page is for you if you are LGBT+ and have experienced abuse or violence, including domestic abuse, sexual violence or hate crime. It is also for people who are worried about someone. You contact each organisation directly, using the details on its card.

In danger now? Call 999. If you can’t speak, see how to get help silently. To contact the police when it isn’t an emergency, call 101.
