About

Tiaho Trust aims to significantly contribute to the New Zealand Disability Strategy’s vision of ‘A society that highly values the lives and continually enhances the full participation of disabled people’.

We endeavour to do this by positioning Tiaho Trust to be the leading proactive disability led organisation in Tai Tokerau from which the community can obtain expert advice and support.

We promote the disabled community as valued citizens who contribute, participate and add to the diversity of New Zealand society through training and education.
