Victim Support

Victim Support is an independent national charity which helps people cope with crime. They have a network of local branches across the country and provide;

• someone to talk to in confidence
• information on police and court procedures 
• help in dealing with other organisations 
• information about compensation and insurance 
• links to other sources of help.

Anyone affected by crime can contact victim support directly for help. And if you report a crime to the police they will also put you in contact with victim support, if you want them to.

Their services are free and available to everyone, whether or not the crime has been reported and regardless of when it happened. Victim Support is an independent charity organisation - not part of the police, courts or any other criminal justice agency.
