Working in partnership with Victim Support can secure enduring benefits for your company while helping to raise essential funds to support those affected by crime. Being a partner will give you affiliation with a charity that has a well-established presence across England and Wales, and provide valuable opportunities to reach new audiences through the work we do with local communities.
In 2017—2018, one in five people fell victim to crime. Victim Support provides emotional and practical support, and offers specialist support services for people affected by terrorism, homicide, domestic abuse, sexual violence, child sexual exploitation, hate crime, antisocial behaviour, and fraud. We exist for anyone affected by crime: our services are confidential, free, and available to everyone, whether or not the crime has been reported, and regardless of when it happened.
2. Engage your employees and customers
We have something for all your staff and clients to get involved with, whether an epic challenge, such as trekking across the Great Wall of China; social occasions, such as organising a Big Staff Picnic, or local volunteering opportunities.
We can provide your company with expertise that allows you to understand your customers better. We have highly trained staff and volunteers who can provide expert training and guidelines on areas such as safeguarding and how to deliver an empathetic response as well as support on developing policy guidelines. We give employees and customers access to a valuable asset in the form of Supportline, our advice and information phone line that’s run by trained staff for anyone who is a victim of crime.
