What We Do

Our aim is to provide material support for any child victim up to and including the age of 16 years who has been a victim of, or traumatised by any criminal offence committed in the UK.  These children are nominated to us only by serving police officers.

We receive referrals from polices forces across the country seeking support for children whose lives have been shattered by crimes such as violence, abuse and murder. 

Individual officers who have been working with the children are in a unique position to make these nominations.  Having worked with the children, they understand the pain and suffering that these innocent victims are going through, and can often suggest the best way to put a little bit of fun and "normality" back into their lives.

“Today, Child Victims of Crime made a huge difference to a victim and her family. Not only this, you have enabled me to carry out a very nice errand and for this, I thank you.”

Detective Constable Janice Williams

“As you are probably aware, my job can be very draining, griefy and negative the majority of the time. However I can honestly say that for me personally, presenting this award and seeing the reaction gave me immense satisfaction and is one of the reasons that makes this type of work rewarding.”
