Victim Support is the national charity which helps people affected by crime in England and Wales. We give free and confidential support to help you deal with what you've been through as a victim or witness, whether or not you report the crime to the police.

How we can help you

If you are a victim of crime, our local Victim Support branches can give you and your family and friends information and support. And if you are going to court, our Witness Service can help before, during and after the trial. Or you can phone our national helpline, the Victim Supportline.

How you can help us

You can help us by volunteering, making a donation or shopping online. And if you want to work for Victim Support, you can find details of job vacancies.
