Volunteering

We are proud to welcome volunteers from all communities across the UK to support our charity. Because, at Crimestoppers, we believe in the power of people to stop crime.  

The power is in speaking up – silence allows criminals to prosper, to hurt us and those we care about.  

The power is also in helping others speak up – letting everyone know that they do not need to be silenced, that through Crimestoppers' anonymity they can be safe and stop crime.

“It was a perfect fit for me, especially on projects involving communities that would not normally talk to the police. A very rewarding role, as Crimestoppers is needed now more than ever”.

“The most pleasing aspect is the feeling one gets of making a contribution, however small, to the work of crime reduction.”

Connect us with every community imageThis is vitally important for so many people who do not feel able to talk with the police directly, for often very personal reasons. Together, we can all be safer from crime.


People volunteer for Crimestoppers for a variety of reasons:

You will help to give a voice to people who don’t feel able to speak up / those who are vulnerable.

Everyone is welcome to be part of our team. Your personal experiences are a valuable motivation, and you can share your story through Crimestoppers if you want to.

Our volunteers are active across all communities, using their personal networks and building new relationships to promote our services to the people who need them the most.

In each local area we have general advocates and more specific roles in leadership, administration, communications, fundraising, and outreach.

We have a team in each area that work together and reach out into communities where Crimestoppers is most needed.

Please note: Crimestoppers is an independent charity, and our volunteers support us in local communities in a variety of roles. You will not be volunteering with the police, nor with the BBC TV programme Crimewatch.

Now, hear directly from our volunteers about what they do and why they support our charity. Could you join us?
