2024 Charity of the Year

We support the people who care for survivors of sexual or violent crime



We call people caring in this incredibly demanding role, 3rd party victims of crime because they are forgotten victims. They are parents, carers, children, close friends and partners who step in to care when the worst happens, often for decades.

Our work is changing lives. 100% of the people who have had support from Restitute say that their emotional well-being has increased and their ability to provide care and support for their loved one has improved.


While many victims of crime prefer to refer to themselves as survivors, the lack of awareness, support and stigmatisation faced by people caring for survivors means that their needs are often misunderstood, although primary victims are only too aware of the vital support that they offer. To the rest of society, they are the forgotten victims of crime. Through our work, we hope to change this.
