Witness Confident is the charity that speaks up for the witness and against the 'walk on by' culture that fuels street violence, feeds fear and fractures communities.

We focus on street violence because nobody else does, because more than a million times a year someone in Britain is mugged or attacked by a stranger, and because - however bad this reality is - people's fear of street violence is seven times greater than the actual risk.

While the culprits are caught in less than 10% of these crimes, it's clear the police are unable to tackle this problem without the public's help.

To turn the tables on street violence, communities and witnesses need to be given the confidence to speak up about and against this mindless violence.

Witness Confident is leading the campaign to bring about this welcome change and make your world safer.
