PROJECT(S):

VICTIM EMPOWERMENT /

VICTIM SUPPORT

Victim Support is an important element of Victim Empowerment and a demonstration of community concern. Victims of crime should  be supported emotionally and physically, depending on the circumstances.

The aim of the initiative is to debrief victims of crime in terms of their immediate emotion and reaction to the incident.

The Spar Group also has a victim support programme with BACWC where staff and customers who are affected by related crime are debriefed.  Spar WC in conjunction with the V & A Waterfront sponsored a victim support facility at the V & A Waterfront for the duration of the 2010 Soccer World Cup Tournament.  This was welcomed by both Business and Government.  Spar has joined hands with BACWC and SAPS to refurbish victim friendly facilities at identified police stations in the Western Cape, which is made possible by local Spar store owners who sponsor this endeavour.  This is an ongoing project.
