This message is sent on behalf of Victim Support.
Set up over 40 years ago, Victim Support is the oldest and largest national charity for victims of crime across England and Wales, their family, friends and anyone else affected. We speak out as a national voice for victims and witnesses and campaign for change.
Every year we offer help to victims and witnesses, whatever crime they’ve suffered, whenever it happened and whether or not they’ve told the police. We help victims and witnesses find the strength to move on with their lives. Do you think you could become one of our Volunteers? Are you good at listening, empathetic, patient and supportive? Our services include giving emotional support and help to victims, providing information so people can find their way around the criminal justice system and helping with applications for criminal injuries compensation.
With our network of specially trained volunteers throughout Dorset, we work hard to make sure that every victim and witness gets the help and support they need, in a way that suits them. We help victims come to terms with what has happened and how they feel. We tell them about the options and choices they have and give practical support to help people move on with their lives. All this is free and confidential.
If you have some spare time during the week and want to help local people we can train you to help them move Beyond Crime.
