Local MP Visits Trafford Victim Support Open Day - 28/04/2009 |
 Paul Goggins MP met local staff and volunteers at Trafford Victim Support in Sale Town Hall on Friday.
Trafford Victim Support helps over 6,000 victims of crime a year, offering a comprehensive service to victims of crime, witnesses, and also to the families of those affected.
Paul Goggins said: “Victims of crime often need practical information and advice, or someone to talk to in confidence about what they have experienced. I am pleased that Trafford Victim Support are offering this support to people locally.
“The trained staff and volunteers at Victim Support offer valuable help to those affected by crime, and over 6,000 people in Trafford were assisted last year. I was pleased to come along to the Open Day to learn a bit more about the important work they do in my constituency.”
Angela Stewart, District Manager at Trafford Victim Support, added: “We are keen to ensure that our services and volunteering opportunities are accessible to all members of the Trafford community. The aim of the Open Day has been to promote what we do and seek to identify opportunities to improve partnership working in the best interests of victims and witnesses.”
If you are a victim of crime and would like to speak to Trafford Victim Support, whether or not you have reported it to police, please call 0161 912 3238.
