Make a real difference in your community
CCS Disability Action has been working with disabled people and their families in your community for over 80 years. We have a presence in 27 locations from Northland to Invercargill and currently, we directly support almost 5,000 disabled people and their families.
At the heart of our vision is a society where all people are included in the life of their community and family. All our branches have dedicated governance committees that offer local people the chance to get involved and have a say in the way we work.
Our Local Executive Committees monitor their branch’s financial performance and manage branch investments, working closely with the General Manager and finance staff. Committee membership is a voluntary role and is a way you can take action to make a real difference in your community. There is no age limit – everyone is eligible to apply.
