How we can help

Our trained and experienced staff and volunteers can help you to cope and recover from the effects of crime by offering emotional and practical support specific to your individual needs.

We’re an independent charity and you can contact us for support regardless of whether you’ve contacted the police, and no matter how long ago the crime took place. We’ll help you for as long as it takes to overcome the impact of crime.

If you call your local Victim Support team in Merseyside, we’ll make sure you get the information and support you need. This might be arranging a meeting for you to talk to us and receive emotional support in confidence, getting advice on how to make your home more secure, or referring you to other specialist organisations that can also help.
