Rape & Sexual Abuse Counselling Centre - Darlington & County Durham launches its first radio ad campaign to support survivors during COVID-19 lockdown

News - 17 February 2021

The campaign will run across Durham & Darlington FM from February 15th, and aims to reach sexual violence survivors who due to lockdown may not be aware of the charity and the range of services it provides – especially its telephone Helpline.

The campaign has been made possible through funding allocated by the Office of the Durham Police, Crime and Victims’ Commissioner’s emergency COVID 19 grant provided by the Ministry of Justice.  This additional funding has been crucial in helping services for victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence continue to deliver support through the difficult circumstances created by the COVID 19 pandemic.

The Helpline is open Monday – Thursday 10am-2pm and Tuesday and Thursday 6.30pm-9pm. The number is 0300 222 5730. It is anonymous and confidential and available to any survivor who has been directly or indirectly affected by sexual violence or domestic abuse. Other online help is available on its website: Get help – RSACC (rsacc-thecentre.org.uk)
