We’re the independent charity that supports and campaigns for all victims and witnesses of crime in England and Wales. Every year, we help hundreds of thousands of people rebuild their lives after crime, offering free, confidential support that’s shaped around them. We help them feel safer, heard and believed, understand their rights and options, process what they’ve experienced, and get the right support. We run specialist services in the local communities that we’re part of, as well as national ones like the Homicide Service and Witness Service. We also raise victims’ and witnesses’ voices to campaign for a better, fairer justice system. If you’ve been affected by crime, we’re here for you. You can call our free Supportline on 08 08 16 89 111 or chat to us at victimsupport.org.uk/livechat. We can provide an interpretation service for people who do not speak English as a first language.
