Foundation Community Participation
We help people live better in our community.
Foundation was created to help people enjoy activities and connections today, and plan for a great future.
Foundation is for people who:
Live in New Zealand
Have a disability or long-term health condition
Need extra support to live your best life.
This programme is open to people of all ages once you have finished school.
At Foundation, our goal is to help people explore, learn, and succeed by gaining independence, building friendships, enjoying the community, or pursuing employment.
We welcome self-referrals, referrals from families, whānau, and providers.
We help people with disabilities to find and do what you want to do.
We can help you with:
Life Skills: Things like travelling safely, managing money, cooking, personal care, emotional health, making friends, communicating, staying healthy, and making decisions.
Community: We encourage people to be active, valued members of their community. This could be volunteering, joining clubs, or connecting with local groups.
Wellness: Activities like yoga, sports, walking groups, gymnastics, swimming, bowling, and even fun runs!
