Story

Not enough is being done to support victims of cybercrime. Individuals and families are being left to fend for themselves against skilled cyber criminals. The impact on the millions of victims is severe – both financially and psychologically.

The Cyber Helpline is a charity that provides free, expert help and guidance to individuals and families when they fall victim to cybercrime, digital fraud and online harm.

For CyberSecurity Awareness Month, join us in our mission to expand our service and be able to provide access to free, expert cybersecurity support to families & victims when they need it.

How Your Donation Makes a Difference:

- £8: Gives a victim access to our intelligent chatbot, providing vital resources

- £15: Offers confidential, one-on-one support from a cybersecurity expert

- £30: Covers expert assistance for one person and helps other victims

It costs £750 to keep just one volunteer on our Helpline for a year. Without the necessary funds raised in October, we won't be able to sustain our services or add the volunteers needed to meet the growing demand. We rely on your generosity to keep our lifeline open and protect vulnerable families for the coming year. Every donation counts.

A fantastic help from start to finish! I had been very badly effected emotionally by a cyber scam and was looking for help. I found The Cyber Helpline and they were able to offer me technical advise, but were also extremely supportive and understanding of my situation. Thank you so much!
