Victim Support is a national charity that relies on donations and grants. The Supportline takes over 15,000 calls a year, and this year the volunteers and staff worked with 1.2 million victims, and 320,000 witnesses – 100,000 of those were children.

Victim Support really helps – not only the practical help (such as security checks on homes and information on insurance and compensation claims) but also somebody to talk to in confidence, somebody to be there and somebody to listen.

Please sponsor me to run 8.5 miles to help Victim Support continue this important service:

·         £5 can pay for a volunteer to visit a victim of crime in their home

·         £10 can help us provide a less frightening environment for a child witness in court, or give a burglary victim information on how to secure their home for the future.

Any donation will be gratefully received, and all the money raised will go to Victim Support to help people whose lives have been disturbed and affected from crimes.
