Support

There are a number of agencies that can provide support:

Safe Spaces Service offers support to survivors of church-related abuse whether or not a report has been made.  This independent service is run by the charity Victim Support and funded by the Church in Wales, together with the Catholic Church in England and Wales and the Church of England.  It is free to access via telephone, email or webchat.

If you, or someone you care about, is experiencing domestic abuse, you can phone The National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247.
