Launch of new advertising campaign

Aug 12, 2022

Domestic and Sexual Abuse Helpline launch their new advertising campaign.

On Tuesday 9th August the Domestic and Sexual Abuse Helpline launched their new advertising campaign with new graphics to stakeholders across Government departments and key figures within the charity sector at Parliament Buildings, Stormont.

The new graphics will be displayed across Northern Ireland on 15th August for two weeks across several formats such as Billboards, bus advertising and in key shopping locations across the five health and social care trusts. Locations will include Belfast, Lisburn, Newry, Derry/Londonderry among others.

Commenting on the event Nichola Greene Head of Service for DSA Helpline said , “we are delighted to introduce new images as they reflect a reality many people face when ringing the Domestic and Sexual Abuse Helpline and we hope that the new graphics and slogans will resonate with the public while raising awareness on the various types of abuse. We hope that anyone who empathises with the new slogans will seek help and know that the Domestic and Sexual Abuse Helpline is available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. I would also like to thank our funders from the Department of Communities, Health and Justice for their support with the new campaign and to Nexus’ staff who continue to host and support victims and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse.”

The Domestic and Sexual Abuse Helpline can be contacted on 0808 802 1414, email help@dsahelpline.org and webchat at dsahelpline.org
