Victim Support is the independent national charity which helps victims of crime.
Every year trained volunteers throughout Western Europe work with people who have been affected by crime: from victims of burglary and theft to victims of sexual violence; from young victims of crime to victims of racist crime. Victim Support volunteers are able to offer free and confidential information, emotional support and practical help. They can listen to victims talk about the effect that a crime has had on them or assist them with insurance or compensation claim forms. Furthermore, the service can be accessed whether or not the crime has been reported to the police and regardless of when and where it happened.
The scheme is currently looking for new volunteers to come forward. As well as providing strong support to people at difficult times, volunteers will also gain a variety of skills, experience and training through working with Victim Support. No previous experience of this kind of work is necessary as full training is given, however, we look for individuals who are good listeners, understanding and get on with people of all ages, cultures and backgrounds.
If you have been affected by crime and would like to talk to someone or if you are interested in becoming a volunteer for Victim Support, please call JHQ Mil 2272 or 02161 472 2272
