I am grateful for the opportunity to lead a membership organisation that is dedicated to supporting people with intellectual disabilities and their families to lead satisfying and fulfilling lives.
IHC is expanding its Family-Whānau Liaison team into Waikato to make sure more families caring for people with intellectual disabilities can get the help they need.
Few people know the roads of rural Waikato better than Eddie Bennett. For years he delivered stock feed and fertiliser to farmers, carted frozen chickens and did courier deliveries.
Heartfelt tributes from the disability community flowed following the news that Sir Robert Martin, a lifetime champion for people with intellectual disabilities, had died in Whanganui in May.
