What is offered by the Organisation Victim Support?
What we do. Our services help people affected by all types of crime and we provide free confidential support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for people affected by crime and traumatic events — regardless of whether they have reported the crime to the police or when it occurred and for as long as it is needed.
Is Victim Support free?
We offer free and confidential support to help you move beyond the impact of crime.
Who can access Victim Support?
We're here to help anyone affected by crime, not only those who experience it directly, but also their friends, family and any other people involved. It doesn't matter when the crime took place – you can get our support at any time, and for however long you need us. Find out the ways in which you can get help.
Can Victim Support help with housing?
We can help you improve your home security, deal with housing agencies, and help you find legal advice or other specialist support. We'll also be there to listen to your needs and work with you to help reduce the overall impact of the crime you've experienced.
Is Victim Support the police?
They provide free and confidential help to victims of crime, their family, friends and anyone else affected. You don't have to report a crime to the police to get their help and can get support at any time, whenever the crime happened. They are not a government agency or part of the police.
