Victim First

An integrated service for Victims & Witnesses in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland

Victim First launched on 1st October 2015. We are commissioned by the Leicestershire Office of Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) and delivered by Catch22 in partnership with Restorative Solutions.

Victim First is a free, independent and confidential service for victims and witnesses of crime and high risk antisocial behaviour in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

Victim First is designed to ensure that the needs of the victim and witness are supported at every stage of the justice process. We provide information and advice, crime prevention measures, access to specialist support, restorative justice options and someone to talk to, to help victims and witnesses recover from the impact of crime.

We have a team of experienced and professional caseworkers, supported by a team of dedicated and highly trained volunteers to help support victims and witness in their journey of recovery.
