Who are we?

The havens are specialist centres in London for people who have been raped or sexually assaulted. Since the first of the Havens was opened in 2000 we have helped over 20,000 people.



What do we do?

If you have been raped or sexually assaulted in the last 12 months, we are here to help you to recover from you ordeal, physically and emotionally. Our staff are fully trained and very experienced. They are experts in advising, supporting and treating those who have experienced sexual violence.

At the Havens we help everyone, men and women, young people and children of all ages.

You can expect to be believed and be treated with dignity and respect.

And you can use our services without having to report the assault to the police.

For us

  • It isn’t about interrogation
  • It isn’t about investigation
  • It isn’t about prosecuting your assailant (unless you want to)
  • It’s about taking care of you.
