Having the right attitude
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.
