Access Ability 16+ years Auckland - Auckland
The purpose or thinking of the time was to support disabled people and their families/whanau to pursue meaningful lives and to recognise that the NASC process would have a far-reaching impact on their ability to do that. Both Lorna and Jan were working within provider organisations at the time, CCS Bay of Plenty, and Community Living Trust. A nominal capital was raised, together with the donation of personal resources, including two foundation Board Members, Kaye Taylor and Peter McRae. During this time, the Access Ability Board was very much a working Board, with the ongoing development of the company and the preparation of proposals being undertaken by Jan and Lorna, together with financial and accounting input from Kaye. Community Living Trust also allowed Access Ability to contract a portion of Jan’s time to act as Managing Director during these formative years.
