Stop It Now helpline appeal

Raising for Lucy Faithfull Foundation

Help us celebrate five years of life-changing support – and keep it going

For over 20 years, our Stop It Now helpline has been a vital lifeline for those working to prevent child sexual abuse. Thanks to donor support, it offers confidential guidance to individuals struggling with troubling thoughts or behaviours, helping them seek help before harm occurs.

The helpline also provides compassionate support to families affected by a loved one’s actions and equips professionals with expert advice in complex and sensitive situations.

Every call answered is a step toward protecting children—and it's only possible because of the generosity of people like you.

In 2020, we launched our live chat service to increase access to this crucial support. Five years on, it has helped nearly 3,500 people and become an essential part of our helpline, which supported over 8,400 people last year alone.

Live chat is especially valued by younger adults and those with additional needs, offering a safe, discreet, and accessible space to reach out. You can read more about its impact in our latest blog.  

We need your help to keep this lifeline open
 
To mark five years of our live chat service, we’re asking for your support to help us raise £15,000. Your donation will help us:

  • Respond to more calls, emails, and chats
  • Reach more people who need our support
  • Create a safer world for children

Every donation, no matter the size, helps prevent child sexual abuse. Whether we reach, exceed, or fall short of our target, every penny will go directly to our unique helpline services.

Fundraise with us – the power of five

About us

Lucy Faithfull Foundation

Charity number: 1013025

For more than 30 years the Lucy Faithfull Foundation has been at the forefront of tackling and preventing child sexual abuse. We firmly believe that child sexual abuse is preventable, not inevitable.

Our work is unique. We protect children by working with people who pose a risk and diverting them from causing harm. We support individuals and families who have been affected by abuse. And we help professionals who work with families to create safer environments for children.

We use data and insights, alongside decades of experience, to develop innovative strategies and interventions to make prevention a reality. We engage with policy and decision makers to advocate for a public health approach to preventing child sexual abuse and we share our understanding of what keeps children safe to the widest possible audience.

Our Stop It Now helpline is the largest confidential helpline of its kind for anyone with concerns about child sexual abuse, including those concerned about their own thoughts or behaviour.

Visit: stopitnow.org.uk, lucyfaithfull.org.uk and shorespace.org.uk for more information about us.

Join us in this essential mission to protect children from sexual abuse. Together, we can make a real impact and create a safer world for children.
