Advice please - can't get through to women's aid

[rockinghorsewinner]

Have tried several times today but keep getting voicemail.

Can anyone suggest anyone else I could call?

If you leave a message, they will call you back. They will ask for a safe time or if your number is safe.

When, though?

If you look on their website there's an option to find your local service and it's often easier to get an answer if you ring your local branch rather than the national number. I don't know if you would catch them this late in the day but worth a try?

I mean, I have been trying since noon

Are you in danger? If you are in danger call the police.

Thanks. Not in danger.

Just checked my local helpline and they're open til 8pm so definitely worth a try.

I can't get through anywhere

Never mind.

Depends what type of issue you are dealing with. Rape Crisis? Victim Support? The police?

Best to call 7pm-7am if you can. As you have seen, lines busy during the day

But do try your local service. Better chance of getting through.

If it isn't urgent then do leave a voicemail /email and they will get back to you. They'll get back as soon as they can - funding, see.

If it is urgent then contact the police.

Are you okay?

Come back and talk to us if you need to.

Did you get through op?
