Northland Disability Leadership Intern

Glen from Central Whangarei

As part of my new job at CCS Disability Action as Northland Disability Leadership Intern I have access to a vault of educational assets.
Language Matters is really important everybody knows using the word golliwog to describe someone is unacceptable we all know that and we understand why.

Did you know asking someone "what is wrong with you" falls into the same category

When interacting with disabled people there are many words you should not use, ableist words are primal many people use these words without realizing or accepting that they are.

Education is the answer just as we must learn Maori protocol to navigate our world safely, the same needs to be said for the disabled we also have protocol

Language Matters is a series of conversation starters created by disabled people. These resources explore a variety of topics on how language choices can impact disabled people.

Language Matters aims to generate awareness about how important our choice of language is and how words shape the way we see the world. The aim is to create greater connection and understanding between disabled and non-disabled people.

Don’t Let Your Mattress Turn Into a Moving Monster!

Marketing Manager from Beds4U - Whangarei

Hey neighbours,

Moving house? Don’t wrestle with your mattress like it’s a wild animal! Big, awkward, and easy to damage, it needs a little strategy - and maybe a friend or two.

Top tips to move like a pro:

1. Measure & clear your path - no doorway dramas.
2. Grab a buddy - teamwork makes it a breeze.
3. Lift smart - bend your knees, not your back!
4. Wrap it up - blankets, plastic, or cardboard protect it along the way.

P.S. If it’s time for a new mattress, our Boxing Day sale is the perfect excuse to upgrade your sleep while you move!

Happy moving, neighbours! Here’s to a smooth move and many nights of comfy sleep in your new home.
