We need your help. Victim Support also work in partnership with Kent Police. The Victim Support charity is built on our volunteers - without them we couldn't continue to do all the positive work for victims of crime.
We offer emotional support and advice to victims suffering as a result of criminality.As a Victim Support volunteer, you will be trained to support victims from the first time you meet them until they feel strong enough to move forward on their own. You will listen to their concerns and make sure that their needs are met. If you can spare one or two hours a week of your time to help us, you will be providing a valuable service to your community.
You don't need qualifications or previous experience of this kind of work to volunteer for Victim Support. All you need is the willingness to help, and a little time. Age matters so you will need to be 18 and over in order to take on certain roles.
If you are able to volunteer, we will have to do a check with the Disclosure and Barring Service, this is for the protection of the victims and witnesses we help. Training is given, and any travel expenses incurred when working for us are reimbursed.
