About Us

No one expects or plans to be a victim of a crime, yet crime can happen to anyone. Whether a housebreaking, an assault, a theft or harassment, it can leave you feeling, angry, worried and alone. There can also be practical problems: replacing vital documents, securing your home, sorting out insurance and dealing with the authorities. Other people's reactions can be difficult to handle and it's sometimes hard to find someone to talk to openly about your feelings.

Crime that happens at work can bring added problems.

Victim Support's trained volunteers understand the practical and emotional difficulties caused by crime and provide free, confidential and independent help through a choice of contact - telephone support, home visit or office appointment - whichever suits best.
