Flying Kites

Flying Kites exists to lead the change we want to see in the disability sector.

We believe everyone who needs it should be able to access disability support services that are as unique as the person they are designed for.

Our recruitment service is available remotely to families throughout Aotearoa New Zealand via phone or video.

In all our recruitment work we focus on your community and the area you are connected with.

So regardless of where you are in the country we will include a conversation about who is local that we should be talking with. This means whether you are in a big city or a rural setting we will help you find your local matches.

As we wrap up another big year, we want to wish our Flying Kites community a happy, restful, joy-filled holiday season. 🎄✨

Our team will be finishing up on 19 December and taking a much-needed break. We’ll be back in the office on 12 January, ready for another year of supporting disabled people and their whānau across Aotearoa.

Thank you for being part of our journey — we can’t wait to see what 2026 brings.
Arohanui from the Flying Kites team 💛

✨ As we wrap up 2025, we want to say a huge thank you. ✨

This year has been big for Flying Kites.
Together, we’ve supported more than 600 people through online training and workshops, and over 100 individuals and whānau through one-on-one guidance with goal planning, navigation, and recruitment.

We also launched our Moving Out resource — a major milestone for young people and families beginning their independent living journey. If that’s where you’re headed, we’d love you to check it out.

To everyone who has trusted us, worked alongside us, shared our mahi, or supported our vision this year — thank you. Your belief in Flying Kites is what makes this all possible.

We’ve got some exciting things coming in 2026, and we can’t wait to share them with you.

But for now, we hope the festive season brings you rest, joy, and moments of calm.

💛 Thank you for being part of the Flying Kites community.

We are happy to adjust our support to match your need. If that means that we provide some ideas or guidance and leave the rest to you, that is completely fine by us. Simply get in touch to discuss the level of support you’re looking for.

Human Rights Day 2025

This year’s theme — Human Rights: Our Everyday Essentials — speaks directly to what we stand for at Flying Kites. Human rights aren’t abstract ideas; they’re the everyday foundations that allow tāngata whaikaha and their whānau to live with dignity, choice, independence, and opportunity.

In a time where uncertainty can feel overwhelming, we’re reminded why inclusion, accessibility, and equitable systems matter. Human rights shape daily life — from having real options, to being heard, to receiving support that honours each person’s unique journey.

Today, we reaffirm our commitment to uplifting disabled people in Aotearoa, championing their rights, and creating communities where everyone can thrive.
Human rights are essential, everyday, and for all of us.

🌟 A big thank you to Foundation North for their generous support of our Flying Kites community projects. Your contribution helps us continue walking alongside disabled people and their whānau, creating real impact where it matters most. 💙✨

Flying Kites does not receive any government funding for recruitment so all of our recruitment services are user pays. It is never too late to go back to your NASC if the funding you have does not meet your disability-related needs and we are available to help you with this process.

We welcome a conversation about what options might be available to get you the support that you need.

🌏 Yesterday was International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD)

IDPD is a global reminder of the importance of awareness, inclusion, and equity for the more than 1.1 million tāngata whaikaha (disabled people) in Aotearoa.

For employers, it’s a powerful opportunity to pause and reflect:
✔️ Are your workplace practices inclusive?
✔️ Do your systems support accessibility?
✔️ Are you creating fair, meaningful opportunities for all?

Recognising IDPD isn’t just symbolic — it’s a commitment to building workplaces where everyone can contribute, thrive, and be valued.

Let’s work together to create environments that genuinely support and celebrate the strengths of tāngata whaikaha across Aotearoa.

If you'd like to be a part of an environment that supports those with disabilities, then get check out our Employment Network: https://www.flyingkites.org.nz/job-vacancies

A Heartfelt Thank You to the Hillier Bequest Charitable Trust

We’re incredibly grateful for the generous support of the Hillier Bequest Charitable Trust. Their contribution allows us to extend our work in Mt Maunganui and Tauranga, supporting local school leavers with disabilities as they plan for life beyond the classroom.

This funding will make a meaningful difference for young people and their families, helping them feel confident, supported, and empowered as they take their next steps.

Thank you for believing in this community and helping us build brighter futures, together.

Yes. As recruitment is an employment related cost, it should be able to be paid for from your Individualised Funding (IF) Budget if you have one.
If you need help explaining our work to your IF host just let us know and we will be happy to help.
If you don't have IF, but still want our help that is fine by us.

✨ Turning ideas into action ✨
Sometimes, making a big life change starts with breaking things down into clear, manageable steps.

Recently, one of our team used the Moving Out resource to support someone rethinking their living situation — together, they explored sections on finding flatmates and finding a home, turning uncertainty into a clear plan that worked for them. 💪

You don’t have to have it all figured out at once — just start with one step.
