Helplines (Useful Information) TEST
Helplines
There are times when we all need information, advice or support or simply just a person to talk to. Whatever is on your mind there are a wide range of helplines run by charities, organisations or public bodies who are set up to provide help and support.
Most helplines are not for people in immediate danger. In an emergency call 999. In non-emergencies you can also call the Police on 101 or NHS on 111.
Please note that 0800 and 0808 calls are free from consumer landlines or mobile phones. They may not be free on business phones. Other phone numbers may incur a cost to call.
