If someone is in immediate danger
Significant Impact is not an emergency service and cannot respond immediately. Please contact the emergency services first — we will still be here afterwards.
If you are in Nigeria
Emergency number in Nigeria: 112
The national emergency number, free from any phone. Some states also run their own emergency lines.
We will publish specialist crisis lines for Nigeria — domestic abuse, mental health, homelessness — once we have checked each one. We would rather publish nothing than a number that no longer answers.
If you are in the United Kingdom
Emergency numbers in United Kingdom: 999or112
Call if someone is in immediate danger, seriously ill or injured, or a crime is happening now. Both numbers reach the same service and are free from any phone, including a locked mobile with no credit.
NHS 111 — United Kingdom only. Free, 24 hours a day, for urgent medical help when it is not an emergency.
We will publish specialist crisis lines for United Kingdom — domestic abuse, mental health, homelessness — once we have checked each one. We would rather publish nothing than a number that no longer answers.
Applications are not open
We are not able to take applications through this website yet.
We would rather say that plainly than put a form here, take what you told us, and have nowhere safe to keep it.
An application asks people to share difficult things — health, money, family, sometimes things they have told nobody else. That deserves somewhere properly secure to live, with a named person responsible for it and a limit on how long it is kept. We are building that. Until it exists, this form stays shut.
If you need help now
Please use the emergency numbers above if anyone is in danger. For anything else, contact us directly and a person will read it.
You may contact us about food, household essentials or other urgent needs. Submitting a request does not guarantee that assistance is currently available. Our team will review enquiries according to our capacity and available resources.
