MEDIA RELEASE


Show YOU care Dunedin!

Local Victim Support volunteers will be hitting the streets on Friday 19th during their 'Show YOU Care' annual appeal. Collectors have been recruited from local business and community groups according to local event co-ordinator Chiquita Holden.
"We're delighted by the support the local people like the More FM crew have given to help make the appeal a success" says Ms Holden
Victim Support provides a 24/7 service to people when they are hurt by crime or trauma. It is a community response to people that helps people find hope, strength and resilience in the face of grief and trauma.
The 24/7 service is provided free of charge in communities large and small throughout New Zealand. It is delivered by trained volunteers who give their time, energy and expertise to help people in their local community.
"Our service is delivered completely by volunteers. They're everyday kiwis who do an extraordinary thing. The 'Show YOU Care' appeal is one way local people can support the work we do in the community." Added Ms Holden
The appeal is running throughout March nationwide. Donations can be made through the website (www.victimsupport.org.nz) or call 090084 28 46 to make an automatic $20 donation.
