Our achievements

We change peoples' lives every day by helping to make communities safer across the UK.

Whether it's our volunteers out in the field, tirelessly finding new ways to promote the anonymous phone number, 0800 555 111, or our links with partner organisations to create new campaigns to raise awareness about specific crimes.

Not to mention the number of people who actually call Crimestoppers anonymously every day on 0800 555 111, to tell us information they know about crime. Without them, the 6,205 people arrested and charged every year on average, because of information received by Crimestoppers, would still be unknown to the authorities. They might still be out in your communities, committing crimes.

Information we've received has led to all different kinds of crimes being solved, from million-pound drug trafficking operations to the fraudulent production of bank notes and building society cheques. A caller to Crimestoppers even helped to identify 4 armed robbers who shot a policeman.
