Axminster Helps

What is Axminster Helps?

Axminster Helps is a simple web page designed to assist people in finding critical support services to help them overcome things like anxiety, suicidal thoughts, abuse, money worries and relationship advice, in just 3 easy taps on their mobile device.

There is a huge amount of support out there, but finding it when you are already struggling can be overwhelming. Our goal is to signpost those in need to vital support services as quickly and easily as possible, when they are in most need - wherever that happens to be!

With a quick scan of this QR code, which you will find at a host of locations from local shops to noticeboards, benches and community buildings, we direct people to nationally recognised organisations and charities that can provide a safety net at the point of crisis, as well as to local support service directories and local authorities.
