Good Lives Wairarapa Charitable Trust

Good Lives Wairarapa aims to improve services and long-term life outcomes for disabled people in our region.

In 2021, a group of parents came together to discuss the lack of services and opportunities for their disabled children in Wairarapa. Some of us looked over the hill to Manawatu where a new national initiative, Enabling Good Lives, had been introduced.

This new initiative seemed like a solution. It was a person-centred, mana-enhancing system of disability support that valued self-determination and recognised the importance of maximising participation in mainstream activities and building relationships within the wider community. It recognised that disabled people should have the same life outcomes as ordinary, non-disabled people.

We asked how do we bring this initiative to Wairarapa? We were told that government supports for a national rollout were just around the corner, no wait, will be delayed a bit due to lack of funding, oh darn, actually not coming your way any time soon. But you are welcome to run with it yourselves.

So that’s what we are doing.
