Partnering to Make Homes Safer

Aviva and Cowdy real estate have recently formed a partnership which will help some Christchurch renters to better access social support.

We Couldn't Do This Without You

In recognition of their dedicated service, two of our fabulous volunteers, Renata Hopkins and Bev Shepherd, received Volunteer Recognition Awards from Volunteer Canterbury.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern Visits Aviva and The Loft

The goal of her visit was to learn more about Aviva’s approach to family and sexual violence, and The Loft’s integrated model for addressing social inequalities and their impact on wellbeing.

Roz is Finally Feeling Safe at Home

Roz knows what it is like to blame and question yourself. She was with a person she describes as a narcissist for nine and a half years. During that time, they had had a daughter together.

In her 10 years with Aviva Carol has supported thousands of women and children to become safer. Working with people through some of the hardest times in their lives - trauma, grief, fear and hurt.

"Just knowing that there's someone who understands, someone who'll listen... knowing that you're not alone, that there's somebody who cares, it makes a huge difference; all the difference. Thanks to Aviva, I knew I wasn't alone, and I found hope again.
