ABOUT US

Over 70 years ago, we set out to help children whose lives had been changed forever by polio. Today our goal is broader and our decision to change our name to "CCS Disability Action" reflects our determination to work with, and support, all disabled people to have the same right to relationships, learning, recreation, work and community as everyone else.

"Including all People" reflects our vision for ourselves as New Zealanders, the way we need to think and behave toward each other in our families, whanau and wider communities.

Our new logo captures the need for New Zealanders to link with one another and to acknowledge and draw on their differences to create stronger, more bonded communities that are truly accessible to all.

CCS Disability Action has grown from an organisation run by non-disabled people for disabled people with physical disabilities into a progressive, strong, inclusive national organisation. The organisation is membership based and disabled people take leadership roles within the organisation and advocate for their rights.

CCS Disability Action is very much a partnership organisation working with disabled people, their whanau and families and the wider community as well as with government and other NGOs. Lifetime services are now provided to disabled people with a growing awareness of the diversity of New Zealand’s population.

The organisation is an incorporated society and a registered charity and is governed by a Board and managed by a professional management team.

The organisation is financially secure, it’s future is planned and is guided by the Mission, Vision and Values of the organisation.
