Cumbria
Cumbria Crimestoppers is dedicated to fighting crime across Cumbria.
We help to promote the charity in communities across the region, to let people know that Crimestoppers is there for them as an anonymous route to pass on information about crime. Crimestoppers guarantees anonymity, which means that no-one can ever find out who passed on information about crime.
To pass on information about crime anonymously, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or fill out our secure, encrypted online Giving Information Form.
Cumbria Crimestoppers is run by volunteers – each and every one is a vital link with the community in the region. If you think you'd like to volunteer for Cumbria Crimestoppers, please fill out our Volunteer Enquiry Form.
