Join Us at the First Te Tau Ihu Accessibility Expo – 7th September 2025!

This event builds on the Forum’s mahi to create a welcoming, empowering space for people from the disabled community, their whānau, service providers, and the wider public to connect, learn, and discover the services and opportunities available across Te Tau Ihu.

We’re planning a vibrant day with 50+ stalls, engaging guest speakers, entertainment, interactive demos, and plenty of chances to connect and collaborate.

We’d love to have you involved as a stallholder!
