We were blown away and humbled to receive three national awards from the Federation of Disability Information Centres at its annual conference last month:

Member of the Year, the Richard Blakeborough Communications Award (for the second year in a row!), and along with Independent Living, the Academy Award for our commitment to professional development.

To everyone who helps make our mahi possible - thank you. We appreciate you!

Our team left the conference with heads full of ideas and hearts full of new connections. We're excited to continue strengthening the information and support we offer to disabled people and their families.
