Victim support
Victim Support Redbridge helps Redbridge residents cope with the
effects of crime. We do this by providing confidential support and
information to victims of crime and to witnesses attending local
courts.
Our services are free, independent of the police and courts, and
available to everyone, whether or not the crime has been reported
and regardless of when it happened.
Contact Victim Support's national telephone
supportline on

information visit the
Victim support
website.
