Victim Support is the independent charity for people affected by crime and traumatic events in England and Wales. Our support services are free, confidential and available to anyone, regardless of whether the crime has been reported or how long ago it happened. We help people feel safer and find the strength to move beyond the impact of crime.
Everyone reacts to crime differently, which is why our services are tailored to individual needs. As well as providing emotional support, we can give practical help after crime, such as providing personal or home alarms, dealing with other agencies on your behalf, and helping you understand the criminal justice system and your rights.
