Runaway Helpline

Runaway Helpline offers free, compassionate and confidential support over 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 thinking of doing so.

When you contact us you will talk with one 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.
