About
100 years of change, care and community in the Wairarapa.
Our roots in the Wairarapa stretch back 100 years, beginning with the opening of Sedgley Boys’ Home in 1926. Over the decades, services have changed and developed in response to the needs of our community, eventually coming together as ChangeAbility in 2008. Today we continue that long tradition of supporting people, families and whānau to create positive change.
