How to Donate
How to Donate
We have to raise at least £60,000 every year to run our helpline. We receive no taxpayer, government or public money – so are wholly dependent on donations to keep it open. We take over 2,000 calls per year from men (often with children) in distress and support others such as families, friends and workmates of men suffering abuse who call because they want to help them escape. Donations to the helpline support the staffing, the telephone system and promotion of this service. To help us help men (and their children) escape, please donate whatever you can afford below. Thank you – it really is appreciated.
