Help and support<\/h1>\n

Victim Support is here to help anyone affected by crime.<\/p>\n

Because we\u2019re an independent charity, you can talk to us whether or not you’ve reported the crime to the police. If you want, we can support you without the involvement of the criminal justice system, and we won\u2019t contact them about you unless we feel someone is at risk. We are here just to support you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
