5/5 Stars for A Night to Remember at a Whangarei Masquerade disco with Isaac and Troy leading this enabling good lives initiative! Supported by Tiaho Trust and Cross Fit, they created an unforgettable evening.

The lively atmosphere, incredible music, and inclusive community spirit made it a night to remember. The masquerade theme added a fun twist, bringing people together in a unique way. This initiative showcases how people with disabilities can enjoy and thrive in a welcoming environment. Join in for a fun and memorable experience that truly enables good lives!

Enabling Good Lives in New Zealand is a kaupapa aimed at supporting people with disabilities to have more choice and control over their lives. It focuses on empowering individuals to live independently, participate in their communities, and access the supports and resources they need to lead fulfilling lives. This approach prioritises individual needs and preferences, promotes inclusion and equality, and aims to create a more inclusive and accessible society for people with disabilities. Enabling good lives ends works to end oppression.

Quote from Troy

I attended a hui about the disability community a few months, one of the things people talked about was the lack of social events. So naturally, Isaac and I said, party!

I did not know what to expect as none of the many parties I've attended has not been for disabled people exclusively. However, when I saw everybody dancing and having a blast, it truly warmed my heart.
