A victim support centre is to be launched in Croydon to make it easier for victims of domestic violence and racial harassment to get immediate, expert help and advice.

Set up as a pilot scheme in December, the One Stop centre in Thornton Heath is a partnership between Croydon Council, the police and other agencies. The centre is in Ambassador House, Brigstock Road, Thornton Heath, opposite the train station. For more information call 0181 649 1707.
