Hello, you are very welcome to the site of the Federation for Victim Assistance.
Our mission is to offer emotional and practical support to all victims of crime.
The Federation is a totally voluntary body with a membership of fully trained volunteers who have a wealth of experience in caring for victims.

We are recognised and funded by the Commission for the Support of victims of crime. The Federation for Victim Assistance was established in April 2005 in response to the need of so many victims of crime.The organisation was officially launched in September 2005 by our patron, Mr Pat Cox, former President of the European Union.

It was our President, Mr. Derek Nally, who first saw the need for supporting the victim over twenty years ago when he introduced Victim Support into Ireland. Our volunteers are crucial to the work of caring for victims and they can help in many ways.

We have branches in the following areas: 

If there is no support group in your area and you feel you could assist in setting up such a group please contact Máiread Fernane, Chairperson at (087) 2941470.
Full training and assistance will be given to anyone interested in caring for victims.
