Expertise and credentials
Victim Support is an independent charity. We are dedicated to supporting people affected by crime and traumatic incidents in England and Wales, and we put them at the heart of our organisation.
Our purpose is to provide specialist help and services, to support people to cope until they feel they’re back on track with their lives. We work in a way that suits them and ensure their voices are heard through their support and beyond.
As an organisation, victims, those close to them and witnesses to the crime are our focus and over the years we have developed unrivalled expertise as to their needs and aspirations and their journey through the criminal justice system.
Last year, following our help and support:
- 77% of people felt better able to cope
- 75% felt safer
- 78% said their wellbeing had improved.
