Volunteer for Victim Support
Hi Neighbours,
Victim Support are currently recruiting new volunteers in the Manawatu Taranaki region, who can be there to help people coping with the impacts of crime and trauma.
If you’re a sensitive, resilient and good listener, with good written communication skills, computer literate and able to commit some time each week, we’d like to hear from you!
Volunteers receive comprehensive training and support from our professional team, and no qualifications or experience are required. Our next Initial Programme Training (ITP) in the Central region is planned for 4/5 and 18/19 April.
Contact us to find out more – call 0800 VOLUNTEER or go to our website.
We would love to hear from you!
Sheryl and the Victim Support Central team

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
