Children with Disability New Zealand

Our Mission

Building a World Where Every Child Belongs

Children with Disability New Zealand is a registered charity dedicated to equality, inclusion, and opportunity for all children. We believe every child deserves to play, learn, dream, and thrive — regardless of disability.

Our Approach
Instead of focusing on one project, we’ve built a network of platforms that work together to create lasting change. Each website under our umbrella addresses a unique need — from inclusive play spaces to imaginative storytelling — but all share one purpose: to normalise disability and build a more inclusive world.


Our Network of Impact

  • Children with Disability NZ – The heart of our charity. Providing leadership, advocacy, and resources for children and families.

  • Accessible Playgrounds NZ – Driving the movement for playgrounds where every child can play side by side.

  • Boundless Dreams – Publishing inclusive children’s books that celebrate diversity and spark imagination.

  • Inclusive Playground Equipment NZ – Partnering with councils and schools to make play truly accessible with practical solutions.

  • Inclusive World – Extending our model globally, sharing New Zealand’s leadership in disability inclusion.

  • Sensory Sensations – Creating sensory-friendly environments that support children with unique sensory needs.


Why Your Support Matters

When you donate, you’re not funding a single project.
You’re empowering a complete ecosystem of change.

  • You’re giving disabled children the joy of play.

  • You’re creating books that help all children see disability as normal.

  • You’re ensuring councils and communities have the tools to build inclusively.

  • You’re amplifying a global message of acceptance.

Together, we can change the story of childhood disability — from one of barriers, to one of belonging.


Join Us
Your support fuels a movement that is bigger than one playground, one book, or one campaign. Together, we are shaping a world where every child, regardless of ability, can laugh, learn, and live without limits.
