Hate Crime
CRIMESTOPPERS
For over 25 years we have helped people who want to stop crime that hurts them, their family, and their community. Our anonymous service gives them the opportunity to speak out when their personal circumstances could silence them.
We believe that individuals and communities have a right to be safe from crime and the fear of crime. Each of us have a responsibility to create a country where there are fewer victims of crime.
As a charity, we have a unique role that is independent from authorities. Our promise of anonymity really makes a difference to:
- those who contact us with nowhere else to turn,
- the victims of crime who see justice being done, and
- communities being safer places.
STOP HATE UK
Stop Hate UK is one of the leading national organisations working to challenge all forms of Hate Crime and discrimination, based on any aspect of an individual’s identity. Stop Hate UK provides independent, confidential and accessible reporting and support for victims, witnesses and third parties.
Stop Hate UK works alongside local strategic partnerships to tackle Hate Crime and discrimination, encourage reporting and support the individuals and communities it affects. We provide a toolkit to help improve local responses to Hate Crime and an alternative for people who do not wish to report Hate Crime to the police or other statutory agencies. Our helplines enable people to access independent support and information, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Victim Support
If you’ve been affected by crime, we can give you the support you need to move forward. Our services are free, confidential and available to anyone in England and Wales, regardless of whether the crime has been reported or how long ago it happened. Victim Support (VS) is the independent charity for people affected by crime and traumatic events in England and Wales. Our specialist teams provide individual, independent, emotional and practical help to enable people to cope and recover from the effects of crime. We work locally to support people affected by crime, and campaign nationally to put their needs first, ensuring that they get the support they need and the respect they deserve. Together, we help people feel safer and find the strength to move forward after crime.
