Victim Support
Help us to support everyone affected by crime
Who are we?
Victim Support is an independent charity dedicated to supporting victims of crime and traumatic incidents in England and Wales.
What do we do?
We provide specialist help to support people to cope and move on to the point where they feel they are back on track with their lives.
Over the past year (2023-2024), Victim Support’s (VS) expert services have continued to provide a lifeline for victims in England and Wales: Some 787,000 people have accessed our services this year (through police referrals, Supportline and live chat) and we have provided specialist, personalised support to over 140,000 people from a support worker. Whether we are helping victims to access their rights, providing vital emotional support through unimaginably difficult times or campaigning for change – improving lives after crime remains at the heart of everything we do.
Our mission has never been more important, given the enormous challenges facing victims today. These challenges are not new ones. Rather, long standing problems – ineffective courts and deteriorating trust in the police – have become chronic and victims’ faith in the criminal justice system is at breaking point.
In this environment, independent victims’ services, like ours, are more vital than ever – and we value the funding, which allows us to deliver them. But we must acknowledge the cost pressures facing us and the rest of the sector. Put simply, we are increasingly expected to deliver more support, with less money. By taking part in an event and fundraising on our behalf you will play a key role in helping us achieve our aim of 'supporting victims, creating change'. Thank you.
How Your Support Helps
Like other charities, Victim Support helps cover the cost of places in popular events. This reduces the registration fee you need to pay up front, making it easier for more people to take part and support our work.
This means that Victim Support pays part of the cost of your place.
By signing up and pledging to raise at least the minimum sponsorship amount shown, you’ll help cover the cost of your place as well as raising vital funds for our services. Thank you.
There are all sorts of ways in which you could fundraise and achieve your minimum sponsorship amount. Our small and friendly fundraising team are more than happy to support you to reach your target.
Please be aware that Victim Support reserves the right to cancel places where no fundraising has taken place in advance of the event and/or where the registered participant hasn’t responded to requests from Victim Support.
