Become a Victim Support volunteer
Riki became a Victim Support volunteer when he went looking for a chance to help people in the community alongside his busy corporate career. Now Riki does a shift each week as a Volunteer Support Worker on the North Shore.
“I read a story about Victim Support and the role they played in the community, and instantly felt a connection to the work they do,” says Riki. “I saw an opportunity to make a difference and not be measured in Key Performance Indicators."
"Victim Support Workers attend incidents or provide support after events that are life changing for the people, whānau, and witnesses involved… I feel honoured that I'm able to help Victim Support to make a difference to people in need."
Since joining in 2018, Riki has helped hundreds of victims to find safety, healing, and justice. Follow the link to hear Riki’s story and learn how you too can support those in need as a volunteer with Victim Support.
