You can also contact us for support regardless of your immigration status in England and Wales.

If you call your local Victim Support team, we’ll provide support that’s personalised to you. We’ll listen with compassion and help you find ways to manage and feel safer.

As well as offering support to people affected by crime, we run a number of specialist services in Humberside. These include:

Antisocial behaviour (ASB)

This service offers support and advice to victims of antisocial behaviour (ASB). It covers Hull (HU1 – HU9) and is funded by Hull City Council. If you’re experiencing ASB, you might want:

  • someone to talk to
  • help with talking to the police or the council
  • help in understanding what you can and can’t do
  • access to online or other tools to help you
  • information or advice.

To speak to one of the team, call 0800 368 7586.

Stalking

Victim Support Humberside offers support to victims who have been subjected to fixated, obsessive, unwanted, and repeated behaviour from someone else. This can be recent or have happened in the past. Our stalking service can help you to cope with your situation, take control, and start to move forward from your experiences. Access our support by calling 0800 368 7586.

We work with a number of partner organisations in Humberside and South Yorkshire to make sure you get the support you need. Find out more about some of the services and organisations we work with.
