Runaway Helpline

Runaway Helpline offers free, compassionate, and confidential support over the phone, text message (SMS), and online chat. We are here for children and young people in the United Kingdom who have run away or are considering doing so.

When you contact us you will talk with one of our friendly and supportive counselors or volunteers who have experience in how to help people with similar experiences to your own. They will listen, express empathy and understanding, and assist you to find a way through your situation. Regardless of your age, gender, ethnicity, or religious beliefs, we will listen in a supportive and non-judgmental capacity.
