Cambridge Rape Crisis offer a confidential service of support and information. Our volunteers will listen to what you have to say. They will help you to find ways to express difficult feelings and situations. We do not make judgements about the women who use our service nor do we tell them what to do. We do not profess to have any answers. They aim to give women a space to talk about their own issues at their own pace. Women can use our service by talking on the phone. We do not currently have the facilities to offer face to face meetings.
