For Victims.

You don’t have to go through this alone.

Being a victim of crime can leave you feeling scared, angry, overwhelmed, or feeling nothing at all.

There’s no right way to react. And no one-size-fits-all solution.

But you don’t have to deal with it by yourself.

We’re here to support you in your time and in your way.

What support looks like.

Support isn’t a script. It’s a conversation.
We’ll listen. We’ll explain your options. We’ll help you feel more in control again.

Depending on what you need, we can offer:

  • Emotional support and someone to talk to

  • Practical help (like safety planning or form-filling)

  • Advice on your rights and next steps

  • Help navigating the justice system

  • Access to our Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (ISVA), if appropriate

  • Referrals to other services that can help

Everything is confidential. And always led by you.

Who we support.

  • People who’ve been directly affected by crime, recent or non-recent

  • Parents or carers of children who’ve been affected

  • People feeling unsafe, unsettled or isolated after an incident

You don’t need a police report to access support. And we’ll never pressure you to take any legal steps.

Need Help Now?

If you’ve been affected by crime, or you’re supporting someone who has, we’re here for you.

You can contact us directly, or the police or another agency may refer you.

Once we’ve heard from you, a trained team member will be in touch.

We’ll agree on a time and way to talk that feels safe and works for you - in person or by phone.

FAQs

  • No. You can access our support whether or not you’ve reported a crime. We’ll never pressure you to go to the police; that decision is entirely yours.

  • Yes. What you tell us stays between you and our service, unless there’s a serious risk to your safety or someone else’s. We’ll always explain any limits before you share anything.

  • We can help with emotional support, practical advice, safety planning, and navigating the justice system, if you choose to. Sometimes, just having someone to talk to makes all the difference.

  • No. You’re in control. We’ll listen, help you understand your options, and support whatever path you choose. We’re here to walk alongside you, not take over.

  • Of course. If you want to bring a friend, partner or family member to a meeting, that’s completely fine.

  • Usually, within days of hearing from you or receiving a referral. If your situation is urgent, we’ll prioritise contact as soon as possible.
