Your Way l Kia Roha, formerly known as Life Unlimited Charitable Trust, creates meaningful impact in the lives of disabled people. Our vision is to see disabled people thriving, living the lives they choose in their communities.
Our bicultural name recognises the history of our organisation which is grounded in Te Ao Pakeha (the Pakeha world) and our aspiration to establish and maintain connections between Te Ao Maori (the Maori world) and Te Ao Pakeha in the context of tangata Whaikaha (disabled people) and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Each person who connects with Your Way l Kia Roha can express their choice and control over decisions impacting their life. We provide guidance, resources, and connections for disabled people, and family / whanau supporting disabled people, to weave together in a way that meets their aspirations and forms a community response.
Connect with us to find out how we can support you to live the life you choose.
Many of our services are contracts with government departments with clear outcome and deliverables required, while we create other services and offerings to meet needs where we see a gap.
As well as income from our government contracts, and our retail sales, we also depend on donations and grants from charitable trusts and individuals.
The organisation began in 1979 as the Disabled Living Centre (Waikato) Trust Inc, and changed its operating name in 1997 to Life Unlimited to reflect the wider scope of services provided.
“Life” means “Living Independence for Everyone”.
We strive to meet the cultural needs of people with disabilities, applying the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi. We consider everyone an individual. We are responsible to the communities in which we live and work.
