In the first 9 months of 2019 we came into contact with 295 victims of crime. These included victims of rape or other form of sexual assault, domestic abuse, assault and criminal damage.

​

During this period we also supported 360 people who have given, or will give, evidence in court or attend Family Law Proceedings.

We have recently welcomed two newcomers to our volunteer pool, both of whom are keen to start supporting victims of crime and both of whom have a wealth of experience in relevant areas.  This brings the number of volunteers providing the backbone of our service to 25.

​

We have also had some staff changes with Deborah Robinson, Hannah Robilliard and Hope Napwanga taking on the roles of Manager, Deputy Manager and Administrative Assistant respectively.
