Victim Support helps anyone affected by crime not only victims and witnesses, but their friends, family and other people caught up in the aftermath. Support over the phone or face-to-face visits to the home or somewhere else that feels safe.
Dial 141 to hide your number. Please check with your network provider as this doesn't work on some mobile networks.
Normal opening hours for the Supportline are:
* 9am - 8pm Monday to Friday
* 9am - 7pm weekends
* 9am - 5pm bank holidays
Please note: we experience a higher volume of calls during the mornings. You may find it easier to call after 2pm.
Calls from landlines to 0845 numbers are charged at a local call rate of 3.5p/min but calls from mobiles are likely to be charged at a higher rate. The charge depends on your mobile phone provider and your contract with them. Victim Support does not get any money from telephone calls. We are currently seeking ways to reduce or eliminate these charges.
If you phone us, the number will appear on your itemised bill. If someone else will see your telephone bill and you don't want them to know you've called the Supportline, you may prefer to use a public telephone or pay as you go mobile.
