New Zealand is ranked the worst for Domestic Violence compared to other OECD countries, with 1 in 3 women estimated to have been a victim of Domestic Violence or sexual abuse in their lifetime. Sir Ray Averys Help@Hands mission is to protect and empower New Zealanders suffering from domestic violence.

The Ted Manson Foundation has partnered with Sir Ray Averys Help@Hand to provide the seed funding for the first phase of Help@Hands mission. With this funding, Help@Hand can provide a proven technology and support platform where they watch over families at risk from domestic violence ensuring that they are safe, and help is at hand wherever they may be.

The full pilot programme will run from 2022 to mid- 2023 and eventually include 200- 500 domestic violence victims. It is Sir Rays goal for this to be fully funded by the Government once it is established and proven.
