The Roofie Foundation is a specialised agency dealing with the issues surrounding Drug Facilitated Sexual Abuse (DFSA) through drink spiking. It was founded in November 1996 when it set up a telephone help-line providing a one-stop shop advisory and information service for victims of DFSA - helping them along the road to become survivors. Through the knowledge they gained through DFSA by default the Roofie Foundation have also become experts in the growing crime of drink spiking for non-sexual reasons, mainly to facilitate robbery. This latter crime claims as many male victims as females.

Today the Roofie Foundation also advises such organisations as Victim Support, The Home Office, The Scottish Government and various police forces.

The Foundation provides the following services:

• The provision of a help-line to assist victims of drug related sexual abuse.
• The establishment of Roofie Scotland in conjunction with Crisis in the provision of a face to face trauma counselling service in Scotland.
• Media campaigns to increase public awareness of the dangers of drink spiking and sexual abuse.
• The creation and publication of its own anti drink spiking leaflets, posters, wristbands and button badges.
• The creation of a web-site giving information about DFSA and surrounding issues.
• The creation of a message board system that provides victims of DFSA contact with other DFSA survivors forming an on-line victim support network.
• Legal assistance from a qualified solicitor.
• Training on all DFSA issues from a qualified trainer.
