If you’re looking for support

Forth Valley Rape Crisis Centre has taken the devastating decision to temporarily close our waiting list.

Due to overwhelming demand for our vital services, survivors are currently waiting up to 240 days for access to support. We need to prioritise survivors who have already been waiting a long time, while ensuring that our staff can still safely provide the high standard of care that survivors deserve.

This situation will be kept under constant review as we explore all options to reopen our waiting list as soon as we are safely able to do so. Any updates will be posted on our website so please check this regularly.

During this time, Forth Valley Rape Crisis Centre will still remain open to anyone who has been raped or sexually assaulted in the past two months. We can take these referrals by email at support@forthvalleyrapecrisis.org.uk or telephone by calling 01786 439 244 (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm).

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
