Belfast Pride 2011

... to raise awareness of our services to members of the LGBT community in Belfast and beyond.

Regardless of who you are, where you come from or what you believe, crime is wrong and it shouldn't happen to you. After a crime many people experience a number of reactions, physical or emotional.

We know that most people find talking about what happened helps. Sometimes it's easier to talk about how you feel with someone who is not a relative or friend.

You can be assured that our service is confidential.

HATE CRIME

Experiencing this kind of crime can be particularly distressing as you have been victimised because of who you are. We can help immediately after an incident or at any stage.

If you have reported being a victim of violent crime we can give you information about how to claim compensation. As a local charity there is no cost to you for our advice and representation.

DOMESTIC ABUSE

Domestic abuse affects men and women in both straight and gay relationships. People who suffer this kind of abuse stay in the situation for many different reasons.

But never forget that it is a crime for someone you know to attack you in your own home or elsewhere. You do not have to suffer in silence.

If you have been affected by any of these issues you can contact us in complete confidence by:
