Wellington Rape Crisis launches its Annual Appeal

Wellington Rape Crisis’ annual appeal is happening this week, with street collectors raising money on 30th March and sponsor events running through the week.

Donations can also be made through the agency’s website and will go towards operating costs which aren’t covered by government funding.

“Wellington Rape Crisis provides vital services to survivors of sexual abuse and violence in the Wellington region, but has to rely on public donations to keep running,” says Kyla Rayner, Agency Manager.

“While the agency receives some grants from central and local government, it isn't enough to meet the high demand for our counselling and support services.
