Antisocial behaviour can have a serious impact on communities by making people feel unsafe, stressed, or uncomfortable in their own neighbourhood. It can reduce trust between neighbours, lead to increased fear of crime, and lower overall quality of life. Over time, persistent ASB can also damage local environments and weaken community spirit, making areas feel neglected and less welcoming.

If you or anyone around you have felt affected by any form of ASB, call us at Victim First for support at 0800 953 9595. You are never alone.

Trapped Behind the Scam. Human trafficking is evolving—and so are the tactics used by traffickers. Industrial-scale financial fraud, fake job offers, online scams, and cyber-enabled coercion are trapping countless victims around the world.

On World Day Against Trafficking in Persons (30 July), let's raise awareness, stand with survivors, and work together to stop exploitation in all its forms.

This Pride Month, we stand with LGBTQ+ survivors and reaffirm a simple truth: everyone deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported. 🌈
No matter who you are or how you identify, you are not alone. Our service is here to listen without judgment, believe your experience, and help you access the support you deserve.
Pride is about visibility, dignity, and community, and that includes creating spaces where every survivor feels respected and empowered. 💜
