We understand that for some households, big football nights can feel heavy.
Not because of the football itself, but because of a mix of things like stress, alcohol, emotions running high, past trauma, or tension already in the home.
If things don’t feel safe, you’re not on your own.
Support is there day and night.
If you’re in immediate danger:
Call 999.
If it’s too dangerous to speak, press 55 once connected so the operator knows you need urgent help.
If you’re deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired, use textphone 18001.
