Victim support workers have themselves become victims of crime as they desperately search for a new, safer site.
Ironic is the word on the lips of workers in the Craylands Hall office in Basildon as they prepare to aim their services more towards the younger sector.

But it is the very age group they are trying to help - 11 to 17 - who have been attempting to break into their office.
Area manager, Tom Elliot, told today how youths had tried to break into the building's skylights, cracking glass in the process.
Anyone who has any spare office space or can help Victim Support can contact Tomon 01245 455979.
