There's an entry on this blog which details useful links and information. If I had to name one single resource that helped me, one resource I would always recommend, it would be Victim Support. Without them, I would probably not be writing this blog today. Right now, this is a service to be found across the nation. It is free. Government proposals could change funding, so that finances are decided by local police commissioners.
This might be fine if the police commissioner of your area thinks that Victim Support is paramount. But if they decide that other costs must be prioritised, you could lose access to this service. And one day you, or someone you love may desperately need it.
Here is the news:

There has been a response in the Guardian. Check out the signatures on this letter:

This is not a political blog, I am not here to party-bash. Please consider the petition below, set up by Victim Support: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/33040
Thank you for reading this.
