A group of beer brewing change-makers, a mum creating an online network to support parents, and a blind radio extraordinaire are the Wellingtonians celebrated at the 2020 Attitude Awards.
Wellington's Elizabeth Goodwin, Support Superstar Award-winner at the Attitude Awards in 2020, is using her experience to drive a project offering online support to parents of children with disabilities.
Elizabeth is the winner of the Support Superstar Award, a recognition of her online community Awhi-At-Home, a Facebook group which began over lockdown.
Jonathan Mosen is the winner of the Impact Award, a recognition of his work as chief executive of Workbridge, one of the few disabled chief executives of national disability organisations.
Blind since birth, Jonathan has spent his life opening doors for other people and, despite a degenerative hearing disorder, he is a prominent figure in radio.
Creativity, community, and good beer are at the heart of the work by The Independence Collective based in Kapiti, producers of Change Maker beers.
The group was nominated for the Employee and Entrepreneur Award, and Cameron Stichbury, Neville Pugh, Janie Tutton, and Nathan Martin spend a lot of time designing, sampling, perfecting, and marketing their brews.

Start the new year with silent nights

Snorex

Summer is a great time to spend time away - but it's not so great when you have to share a tent or room with someone who snores. Stop the complaints from friends and family by getting fitted for a Snorex.

Summer is a great time to spend time away - but it's not so great when you have to share a tent or room with someone who snores. Stop the complaints from friends and family by getting fitted for a Snorex.

Snorex is a custom made anti-snoring device. Fitting over the top and bottom teeth and made of a soft plastic, the Snorex is discreet and easy to travel with - no bulky masks or machines. It works by holding the jaw forward, opening up the airway and stopping snoring. Made in Stokes Valley for 25 years, each Snorex is custom fitted for comfort and efficacy.

Being custom made it does take time to complete each Snorex, but booking a fitting in before Christmas means that in January you can start having years of snore-free nights.

For more information, or to check available dates for an appointment, go to www.snorex.co.nz or call 0800 766 739
