Charities Awarded 116 European Helpline Numbers
The organisations that will run the first European 116 helpline phone numbers in the UK have been unveiled.
The following organisations have been selected to provide their services on these 116 numbers:
-
Missing People will use 116 000 for a missing children helpline;
-
NSPCC will use 116 111 for its ChildLine service; and
-
Samaritans will use 116 123 for an emotional support helpline.
116 numbers will allow anyone travelling around Europe to access providers of similar services by calling the same six-digit memorable number, making it easier for visitors to find the right number when they need help or advice.
