Services
If you live in or near Napier, please contact us for support, advice and information relating to disability.
We offer a range of services for disabled people and their family and whānau. All our support services (with the exception of Mobility Parking) are free.
There are a number of ways you can access them. While some of our services may need a referral and not all the services offered by CCS Disability Action are available from our branch, please get in touch with us directly to discuss your needs and what we can offer you.
You could also contact your GP or NASC Hawke’s Bay as they can assess your needs and connect you with support providers.

Our People

General Manager
Alan Davies
I live in Napier and am the family law partner in a local legal practice. I first became involved in what was our local branch committee in the late 1980’s, very early 1990’s because I wanted to do some voluntary work in the community. I have remained involved ever since, in recent years as the chairperson of the Tairawhiti Hawke’s Bay LEC.

Colene Herbert General Manager Midland Region
I hail from a little slice of paradise on the East Coast of the North Island…Ruatorea
I grew up truly walking in the fusion of Maori and Pakeha world views, fortunate to have Maori and English heritage. As the last of seven children, I learnt the value of sharing and contribution for the greater good.
I also grew in the richness of having a sibling with an intellectual disability. To say his presence in my life influenced my career pathway is an understatement.
I have spent 35 years working in the disability sector in a variety of roles and for a number of providers. My career started with the Psychopaedic nursing programme at Mangere Hospital and Training School in South Auckland as a 17 year old and has culminated in my inclusion in the CCS Disability Action whanau in 2017. All of my experiences in other roles has prepared me well for the rigours of general management.
I have three gorgeous sons who are my heart. I love entertaining and feeding people – ask me about my famous burnt sugar steamed pudding – its legendary.
