Thanks to everyone for your encouragement, support and donations. 

It's not too late to donate ... ...every little helps...

Being a victim of crime is never a pleasant experience for anyone, especially if the victim is of low means, vulnerable or at risk from becoming a repeat victim. 
 
The majority of crime that happens within my area (East London) is burglary, purse/handbag thefts, bogus callers and common assault. There are more serious incidents of robbery and sexual violence, but fortunately these are fewer in number.
 
With the aid of practical items such as personal attack alarms, burglar alarms, keypad locks, handbag alarms, we can easily prevent crime happening again to the same person, and any money raised will help purchase these small but very effective items.
 
Some crimes are more complex requiring more expensive practical support such as high levels of security equipment - a recent arson attack left a victim with absolutely nothing after their home was burnt extensively.

Immediate requirements were provisions, food and warm clothing, but then reality set in after being moved to another home by the Council; there was no kettle to make a cup of tea, no pots or pans, cutlery, bedding, pillows, sheets, curtains, towels, toothbrush, soap ... the list was endless.  This is where your "little" can help!
 
These very costly dilemmas are the same if anyone is fleeing their home through domestic abuse, or serious harm.

Any practical help can have a beneficial aim to aid the quality of life for victims of crime in the London area.

It does not resolve the problems, but it can make a difference. 
 

PLEASE give generously as it could easily be you, a family member/friend or me asking for support.
