About Us
No
one expects or plans to be a victim of a crime, yet crime
can happen to anyone. Whether a housebreaking, an assault,
a theft or harassment, it can leave you feeling, angry, worried
and alone. There can also be practical problems: replacing
vital documents, securing your home, sorting out insurance
and dealing with the authorities. Other people's reactions
can be difficult to handle and it's sometimes hard to find
someone to talk to openly about your feelings.
Crime that happens at work can bring added problems.
Victim Support's trained volunteers understand the practical
and emotional difficulties caused by crime and provide free,
confidential and independent help through a choice of contact
- telephone support, home visit or office appointment -
whichever suits best.
