Appearing in court can be terrifying for a child.
When you purchase a ticket for the Rotary Dream Home, you’re helping the Child Witness Centre make sure that kids don’t have to face the criminal justice system alone.
We provide vital support, preparation and court accompaniment for child victims and witnesses throughout their involvement with the courts. We also assist the parents/ guardians so that they can effectively support their child through the process.
Incorporated as a registered charity in 1983, the Child Witness Centre provides its services free of charge. We help more than 600 children each year. More than 70% of cases involve sexual or physical assault or domestic violence. During a time when a child can feel overwhelmed and alone, we can help.
Your support helps us buy a new home, and could win you your Dream Home.
Money raised from Dream Home ticket sales will allow the Child Witness Centre to purchase its own home, close to the downtown Kitchener courthouse now under construction, thereby offering a safe and home-like environment for our clients.
