Our impact

The difference we make

We rely heavily on our supporters and beneficiaries, who are keen to see the impact of our work. We publish an annual Impact Report that outlines top level stuff – for example, how we are thinking and working strategically, and how we continue to help make our communities and businesses safer.

It shows how we make a real difference by helping more than 720,000 people who trust us to pass on vital information about crime each year - 100% anonymously.

Crimestoppers impact

There may be times when information received by Crimestoppers is passed on to our trusted partner organisations. Crimestoppers will only share this information to help keep communities and workplaces safe.

Our Impact Report 2023/24 highlights our unique work over the past year helping the public to speak up about crime.

You can see updates on our campaigns and appeals, news about our work to support our commercial partners and important details outlining how we’ve spent our income, wisely.

In our 2023/24 edition, highlights include:

Driving quality information: an impressive rise in the number and quality of reports which have more than doubled in a decade.
Making a difference with our campaigns and rewards across the nations and regions.
Real-life case studies – anonymised and taken from the thousands of reports we receive.
Rooting out police corruption: how a pilot scheme for London went national.
And an update on the fantastic efforts of our volunteers.

Our charity is proud to be expert at breaking down the barriers that keep those with crime information silent. We have learnt a great deal over the decades. Now, an average of over 2,000 people are contacting us online or on the phone every day.

They are proactively choosing the Crimestoppers option – often in the face of fears over revenge attacks or other consequences.

We thank them all for taking what is often a courageous step.
