Accessible seesaw for Raumanga park Whangarei
Children with Disability NZ is now fundraising $10,000 for an accessible seesaw for Raumanga park Whangarei
The beauty of these products is that they are accessible for wheelchair users but are also multi use for all children
Our charity has a focus on improving the outcomes for disabled children and young adults we have part funded a wheelchair swing for Waipu park Northland. We have now reached an agreement with Whangarei council to fundraise towards an accessible seesaw for Raumanga park.
We rely completely on donations to buy this equipment just as we rely on councils such as Whangarei to take on board the needs of all people, if you can afford it please consider donating to our playground fund.

60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
