How to support Matthew's support

The Team from Momentum Waikato

The work of CCS Disability Action Waikato makes a huge difference in the lives of disabled people and their whaanau across the Waikato, Coromandel and King Country.

One person who the organisation supports is Matthew Sloane (pictured above), someone who, in his dad David’s words, “spreads joy.”

“Matthew is an incredibly cheerful, friendly person, and that friendliness is contagious,” said David.

The 31-year-old has a learning disability and has been supported by CCS Disability Action’s Waikato branch for around 10 years. He is also employed as a caretaker at the local branch, work he enjoys.

Matthew has a small team of Support Workers who spend time with him each weekday morning and help him to live independently. Every day holds something different. As well as working at CCS Disability Action, he enjoys a regular cycling session and connecting with friends.
