Emergency helpline

The free helpline is in high demand and should only be used in a last resort in situations such as:

– You are about to be made homeless

– You have nowhere to sleep tonight

– You are at risk of harm and abuse in your home

You can also find the answers online so you’re advised to try that option first.
