Learn more about becoming a Victim Support volunteer!

Victim Support

Are you looking for a chance to give back to your community and meet great people?

Victim Support volunteers are people of all ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds who make themselves available to support others after a crime, trauma, or loss.

Last year, our volunteers were there for more than 2600 people right across the Wellington region in their times of greatest need.

If you’re looking for an opportunity to give back to your community, we’d love to hear from you! To find out more about becoming a Victim Support volunteer, call us on 0800 865 868, email us at wellington@victimsupport.org.nz, or visit www.victimsupport.org.nz/volunteer.

No prior experience or qualifications are required and comprehensive training and supervision is provided.

Thanks!

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th

Jeanette from Tawa

I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
