Anyone can become a victim of crime and people react to the ordeal in a number of ways. Most victims don't suffer long term harm but children and the elderly, especially those living alone, can be seriously effected. As a consequence, people who have suffered a crime may need practical information and advice, or simply someone to talk to. Those affected are often referred to Victim Support by the police, and other organisations, or make direct contact themselves to ask for help.

Victim Support is an independent national charity, which has trained volunteers who contact people following a crime to offer free, confidential support and information. It has a Crown Court Witness Service, which helps victims, witnesses and their families before, during and after the trial. Trained volunteers based in Crown Court centres offer emotional support and practical information about court proceedings.

Victim Support is an independent national charity, which works for the rights of victims, witnesses and their families and for greater awareness of the effects of crime. The charity receives some funding from central and local government; other costs have to be found through fund raising. You can help by sponsoring a project, making a donation or by joining 'Friends of Victim Support'.

Victim Support depends upon many thousands of people who give up their time to help victims recover from distress caused by crime. Volunteers are welcome from all sections of the community. Full training is given and all out-of-pocket expenses are paid. You can help by training as a volunteer visitor or training as a court - based volunteer. There are also opportunities to help in other ways, for example with fund raising and publicity, office administration, or with translation and interpreting.
