The social worker taking clients roadside

From Nights, 10:18 pm on 15 July 2024

Every day, social worker Scotty Harvey hops into his 1997 Toyota Camry, covered from bonnet to boot in messages of support and hope, then drives to a roadside spot where he parks up for the day to offer his services to anyone who wants to chat.

What started off as a weekend mission has turned into a full-time gig helping thousands of people across the country through his charity UOKBRO NZ.

He speaks to Emile Donovan about what motivates him to help people.
