Bristol Crisis Service for Women

is registered as a charity and was set up in 1986. We get funding from a wide range of sources, including charitable trusts, central and local government agencies, the lottery, and individuals. Much of this funding is in the form of one-off grants for specific projects. We are trying to develop more long-term funding. This will help us to continue our work, expand our services and respond effectively to the increasing need for crisis support in the community.

How we work

  • Bristol Crisis Service for Women is run by a management group.
  • The helpline is staffed by volunteers, who receive full training and support for their work.
  • Volunteers work alongside paid workers in carrying out many aspects of the organisation's work.

Our aims are:

  • To offer support to women in emotional distress, and particularly to those who self-injure.
  • To develop services, and raise awareness of self-injury and mental health issues, through training and providing information.
