Victim Support NI volunteer recruitment drive in Newry
Victim Support NI, the leading organisation supporting victims of crime in Northern Ireland, is hosting an event in Newry on Tuesday 18th October in the hope of attracting people to volunteer with the charity.
The organisation, which helps victims of crime in communities and courts throughout Northern Ireland, said more volunteers are required to deliver their crucial support services at their outreach centres in the city.
Victim Support NI will be holding an information session about volunteering with the organisation at Ballybot House, 28 Cornmarket on 18th October between 11am-12pm.
Victim Support NI Volunteer Manager, Jolena Flett, said, “Victim Support NI is volunteer focused and driven. We simply wouldn’t be able to help victims of crime without the dedication, expertise and professionalism of our terrific volunteers.
“Volunteering can involve helping people in court or in the community, providing emotional support and practical assistance to victims of crime, form filling and giving people the confidence to make their voices heard.

As well as being great experience, it’s also a fantastic way to work as part of a caring and compassionate team while helping people in your local area.
“Currently we require more volunteers in the Newry area to provide support to people in court and in the local community.
