Traumatic incidents often come to mind when we've got time off. Family and relationship issues can create challenging situations. And most support services are closed.
That's why it's so important that Supportline, Victim Support's free, confidential contact service, is available to anyone who needs it - whenever they need it.
Our specially trained staff offer emotional and practical support to victims of any type of crime, from hate crime and antisocial behaviour, to domestic abuse, fraud and murder.
It's very important to be able to talk to somebody who can understand what you've been through and can support you. Just to know that there is somebody on the end of the phone when you need it, that you can phone when you are absolutely drained and don't know where to turn, and to talk to somebody about that."
We can only continue to help victims and survivors like Sue with your help.
And if you need support after a crime, please don't hesitate to contact Supportline on 08 08 16 89 111 or find out how else you can get in touch.
