Launched Festival – Save the Date!
It’s all happening on Wednesday, 18th September – a celebration of creativity, community, and great music.

You might want to join the fun as a volunteer or performer, or simply come along to enjoy the atmosphere on the day. Either way, it's a day you won't want to miss.

What is Self Advocacy?!

Self Advocacy is something that we are very passionate about here at aspire, but what does it mean?!?!

Self-advocacy means speaking up for yourself and having a say in the things that matter in your life. It’s about knowing your rights, understanding what you need, and feeling confident to ask for support or changes when you need them.
Being a self-advocate might look like:
Making your own choices and decisions
Asking for the support or tools you need
Telling people what works for you — and what doesn’t
Standing up to unfair treatment or barriers
Being involved in decisions that affect your life
Self-advocacy is about being heard, respected, and in control of your own path. It’s not about doing everything alone — it’s about having a voice and using it.
You deserve to live with dignity, pride, and the power to shape your own future

We have Self Advocacy meetings for all the people we support here at Aspire and look forward to sharing more about what our Self Advocacy team does with the community.

We love a good ball in our community, and for good reason.
They’re a chance to dress up, connect with friends, and dance the night away in a fun and inclusive space.

This September, we have not one, but two wonderful events to look forward to:

Starry Night Ball – Thursday, 12th September
Shine Ball – Friday, 13th September

Each ball offers something special, and you’re welcome to attend one or both. You’ll need to contact the organisers directly to register, so don’t miss out!

Let’s make this a September to remember.

Did you know that Brain Injury Waikato run local support groups and range of regular workshops?

"Support groups can provide a sense of belonging, make social connections, and share ideas, learn and deepen understanding for recovery and ask questions. It is a safe place to share, listen and give and get support surrounded by people who understand or are walking a similar path."

Have a look at their website and talk to the great team about finding something that might be suitable for you. - https://www.braininjurywaikato.org.nz/support-groups-and-events/
