VICTIM SUPPORT NATIONAL OFFICE

Short profile:

We're an independent charity but we work closely with the police and other criminal justice agencies. We have a special arrangement with the police so that they give us your contact details after you report a crime (we call this referral and you can tell the police not to refer us if you want). We'll then get in touch - normally within 48 hours of getting your information - to see if we can help.

Detailed description:

Victim Support is the independent charity for victims and witnesses of crime in England and Wales. We were set up 35 years ago and have grown to become the oldest and largest victims' organisation in the world. Every year, we contact over 1.5 million people after a crime to offer our help. Victim Support is here to help all victims and witnesses of crime right across England and Wales. Our services are free of charge and confidential.
