Victim Support is the independent charity for victims and witnesses of crime right across England and Wales. We were set up 35 years ago and have grown to become the oldest and largest victims' organisation in the world. Every year, we contact over 1.5 million people after a crime to offer our help. Although we work closely with the police, courts and other parts of the criminal justice system, we are quite separate. The help we give is confidential and free. If you ask for our help, we won’t tell anyone without your permission – unless it’s an emergency and we think someone’s safety is at risk. Just like any other charity we need funds to support our work. We also depend on thousands of specially-trained volunteers to deliver our services to victims and witnesses.

Volunteers must have empathy and good listening skills.

To visit victim of crime, assess needs, provide practical and emotional assistance as required.

Time required is 1 - 2 hours a week.
