We are Victim Support

We are the national charity giving free and confidential help to victims of crime, witnesses, their family, friends and anyone else affected across England and Wales. We also speak out as a national voice for victims and witnesses and campaign for change.

We are not a government agency or part of the police and you don't have to report a crime to the police to get our help. You can call us any time after the crime has happened, whether it was yesterday, last week or several years ago.

We have offices throughout England and Wales and we run the Witness Service in every criminal court.

Call our Victim Supportline on 0845 30 30 900 to get help now.
