Thank you
Enabling Love which is under the umbrella of Enabling NZ is delighted to announce that we are running our first Coffee Club in an effort to diversify our services. We have been getting a number of requests from members to run a weekly get together, and a coffee group is a good format to do this in. The Coffee Club was also mentioned as an idea by Ignite Consulting in the report that they presented to us about where we needed to go as an organisation last year.
The coffee club will run for a four week trial, and if this goes well we may look at applying for funding to run it in other parts of the country.
Our goals are to listen to our members and action their requests and ideas where possible.
A number of enquiries have been coming from different parts of the country, and Dunedin.
We have just got our non-profit status, it means we will be able to apply for grants, which will hopefully be able to give us opportunities to run more events up and down the country, as we know there is a real need to break down barriers for disabled people when it comes to socialising in the community in New Zealand.
Enabling Love has a lot of work to do to address this going forward over the next few months, and we are looking to network with events both locally and nationally to address this need, as mentioned earlier.
If your organisation or business has an opportunity in terms of an event collaboration or music festival please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
The more opportunities we can get for our members to go to main stream events the better it will be for them in the long term, in terms of socialising and getting out into the community.
Hi all, Happy New Year.
This years going to be a very busy year for us as an organisation.
Reflecting back on last year it was an extremely big clearing curve for us, eight events were held and we had two successful couples matched up through our site profile system, as well as a friendship. We have 165 registered members join by the end of December 2018, and so far we have 167 members.
Tomorrow the Enabling Love Board will meet for the first time this year to discuss plans leading up to Valentines Day as well as the plans for the year. The events you guys have suggested will be taken into account tomorrow. The CEO Joshua Perry will be outlining the current state of the organisation as it stands in the next few weeks.
We have also been contacted by TVNZ to do a documentary about our success stories, the current state of dating when it comes to dating someone with a disability.
If any of our members have a success story that they would like to share with the public please let us know.
We are also working with a number of disability agencies across New Zealand and investigating other opportunities for growth as well as overseas.
One of our goals this year is to get our One on One service up and running as well as our dating education courses.
We have teamed up with Otago Polytechnic to create an App which will be done by 2020/21. We are looking forward to starting work on this project this year.
We look forward to working with you this year, and appreciate your loyalty, so watch this space and keep your eye open for updates so you don't miss out on our fun social events and activities.
Don't forget to sign up if you haven't yet. Email us if you have got any questions.

Tonight is our Christmas Celebration and we'd like to thank all of our members for coming on board this year.
