Te Ringa Manaaki - Caring Hands

Te Ringa Manaaki means 'Caring Hands' and is the charitable funding arm of NorthAble.

Te Ringa Manaaki was created with the purpose to provide support for people  living with a disability in Northland.

Contributing to the wellbeing of our tāngata whaikaha and their whānau by providing funding for projects, activities and assistive equipment that are not eligible to be funded through other means.

Funding can be used for activities such as  further study, mentoring programmes,  purchasing accessibility items for the home or community or assistance to access the community for a range of activities.

Eligibility

Those eligible will need to meet all these criteria:

  • Have a long-term disability.
  • Be resident in Te Taitokerau.
  • Not be eligible for funding from other sources including MoH, ACC, Te Whatu Ora Te Taitokerau or WINZ.
  • Have a genuine need who are unable to fund the relevant opportunity or equipment themselves.
  • Note: If you are unsure, if you meet all those eligibility criteria, check with your Service Facilitator or our Pathway Finder.

 

Real Results

Supporting creative endeavors

Not only can our support funds be used for further study, mentor programs and accessibility items; but we also help fund community projects and activities.

One of our recent fund recipients was Liam Martyn Astbury (pictured on the left). Liam used the funds to host a gallery showcase of his artwork at Megan Dickinson gallery. The night was a roaring success with many local artists coming out in support.
