We do this in 3 main ways:
Listen
Empower

Listen to and strengthen the voice of our community
Promote opportunities for learning, growth and thinking differently about what a good life can look like
Amplify the voices of our community and advocate for change
WRLG Statement on Disability Funding Changes September 2025
We are hopeful about what these changes could mean for our community. They are designed to give disabled people and whānau more choice, more control, and more flexibility in how support is provided. Our goal is to lift everyone up to the Enabling Good Lives (EGL) approach. At the same time, we do have questions. We are working closely with MSD, DSS, EGL Christchurch, and the Government taskforce to find answers and make sure your voices are heard.
