“Have you or someone you know been affected by crime?
Victim Support West Mercia can help.
Victim Support is a charity that provides free, independent, and confidential support to anyone affected by crime and traumatic events in England and Wales. It doesn’t matter what the crime is, when it happened, or whether or not it has been reported to the police.
Our trained team will discuss the impact of crime, provide immediate support and information or help find the right service for longer-term specialist support.
Our Independent Victim Advocates offer dedicated, ongoing support to the most vulnerable victims, helping people to feel safer and find ways to manage after crime.
Specialist support is provided to victims of Modern-Day Slavery or exploitation, working closely with agencies across the system.
Our Road Collision service supports those bereaved or who’ve sustained life changing injuries due to road traffic incidents.
We offer victims access to Restorative Justice, giving them a voice and helping to repair harm by enabling communication with those responsible.
We know that people may not be ready to report crime straight away. The Visual Evidence Service records photographs of personal injuries or property damage so that victims can use this in the future.
Our I Am Me! training raises awareness of Hate Crime and its impact. We empower people to recognise, respond to, and challenge hate in all its forms
You can learn more about all our services through our informative talks, which can be tailored to suit your needs. We can also attend relevant events to raise awareness of Victim Support West Mercia
