	Happy New year to one and all. Please keep checking back here to see our up to date news in 2010.

Our telephone helpline is available Monday to Thursday from 6.00 to 8.00pm by phoning 01226 298560. There is also a 24 hour answer machine on the helpline.

We are now trialing a Saturday morning helpline which will be open on the first Saturday in every month. This will open 09.30 to 11.30 on the usual telephone number 01226 298560. The next Saturday helpline will take place on Saturday 6th February 2010.

Please feel free to leave a message and one of our volunteers will be happy to phone you back during
helpline hours.

You can let us know the most convenient time to call and whether or not we can leave a message at your home or work, and whether we should be discreet.

Our helpline is for anyone whose life has been affected by sexual violence. If you've experienced sexual violence yourself, or if you care for, work or live with someone who has, we can offer you confidential listening, support and information.

For women aged 16+, we also provide free, person-centred face-to-face counselling and an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) service tailored to your needs, this can include a combination of practical support, outreach and advocacy. You can access these services no matter what type of sexual violence you've experienced, and regardless of whether it happened yesterday, ten years ago, or is still happening now. Just call our helpline for more information.

We can also provide talks, presentations and training to other agencies, professionals and schools. If you're interested in this or would like to know more, please contact our office (see 'About us').
