Victim Support

Victim Support is an independent charity dedicated to supporting victims of crime and traumatic incidents in England and Wales. We provide specialist help to support people to cope and recover to the point where they feel they are back on track with their lives. Our Independent Victim Advocates provide individual, independent, emotional and practical help to enable children, young people and adults recover and move beyond the impact of crime. Service users can also come through self-referrals by phone, email or through our Live Chat system https://www.victimsupport.org.uk/help-and-support/get-help/support-near-you/live-chat/ , alternatively they can attend the office in person for a quick chat.

My Support Space – It’s an online resource (produced and owned by VS) designed to help clients manage the impact that crime has had on them. It is a free, safe, secure and confidential space which contains interactive guides, videos, techniques, activities and tips.
