Victim Support West Midlands helps West Midlands residents cope with
the effects of crime. We do this by providing confidential support and information
to victims of crime and to witnesses attending local courts.
In this ever developing organisation there are always new job opportunities. For information about these click on links below.

Help for victims
Our trained local volunteers offer:
- someone to talk to in confidence
- information on police and court procedures
- liaison with other organisations on your behalf
- information about compensation and insurance matters
- contact with other sources of help
We can also help with information and help with photographic evidence for civil and court procedings with VEV Project
You can contact us directly for help, and if you report a crime to the police
they will also offer to put you in contact with us.
We are heavily reliant on local fundraising initiatives and donations to help us continue to provide a good standard of service to people affected by crime in the West Midlands area. We would welcome any donation to Victim Support West Midlands you might wish to make.
Support us by raising funds for our charity by creating an online fundraising page for any event or occasion.
Help for witnesses
Our Witness Service offers information and support to witnesses, victims, their families and friends in every criminal court in West Midlands. Our trained staff and volunteers offer:
- someone to talk to in confidence
- a visit to the court and a look round a court room (where possible)
- information about court procedures
- a quiet place to wait before and during the hearing
- someone to accompany you into the court room when giving evidence
- practical help, for example, with expense forms
- to put you in touch with people who can answer specific questions about the case (the Witness Service cannot discuss evidence or offer legal advice)
- a chance to talk over the case when it has ended and to get more help or information.
