Ahead of CHVRCHES’ homecoming show at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland on Saturday, February 16th, lead singer Lauren Mayberry was already busy hours before showtime helping launch Connect Live for the Glasgow & Clyde Rape Crisis Centre.

Mayberry, a patron for the centre, previously helped spearhead a fundraiser for their 40th anniversary back in 2016. Now, almost two years later more women than ever are seeking support from the centre.

Glasgow Rape Crisis Centre manager Isabelle Kerr told the Herald Scotland, “In the last two years, the centre has fielded almost 30,000 calls, texts and emails from survivors of rape, domestic abuse and other forms of sexual trauma in and around Glasgow.”

Kerr and staff along with Mayberry launched the new project, Connect Live, which will be open daily from 11 AM – 2 PM and Monday through Thursday evenings from 5:30-7:30 PM. This service will allow anyone contacting Connect Live to speak to centre staff directly for live support.

Mayberry said, “I don’t view things like rape crisis as optional services. It’s not negotiable whether that is available to society, and it’s not just for women either.”

If you would like to help support this project please donate through Just Giving. Donations will help the centre adapt to changing technology and help train new volunteer staff.
