Better Services for People with Disabilities"Most work is now based in the community and the old centre was too big ", said Nigel Mead, Regional Manager for CCS Disability Action

The new Wairarapa Community Centre has come to life with the first new tenant, CCS Diability Action moving in yesterday. The centre has moved to Perry St from its original location on Dixon St, as the building was below required standards and was becoming too expensive to maintain.

Supporters spent three years raising $560,000 to buy the building and make alterations. The centre will house many community-based organisations including:

  • Supergrans,
  • Wairarapa Green Dollar Exchange,
  • Brain Injury Association,
  • Wairarapa Women's Centre,
  • Happy Circle,
  • Heart Foundation,
  • SPELD,
  • Healthy Touch Massage Centre,
  • Wairarapa Geological Society
  • and the Wairarapa Asthma Society

Mead said "It's going to be great when it's all up and running and ."One of the other reasons we wanted to move here was so we could have a closer relationship with other agencies we already work with," he said.

Others will move in before the official opening on February 17.
