A programme to assist disabled people to live good, everyday lives will be continued in the Bay of Plenty.
ImagineBetter has been selected by the Ministry of Health (MoH) to continue Local Area Coordination (LAC) in the region.
From August 11, ImagineBetter will be establishing itself to lead the programme, which assists disabled people to live good, everyday lives. The organisation will also extend LAC to the Lakes District over the next three years.
MoH Disability Support Services general manager Toni Atkinson said with strong community links and experience with similar work, ImagineBetter had the capability to enhance LAC, while complementing existing Disability Support Services.
ImagineBetter CEO Tony Blackett said the small, community-based organisation encouraged people to imagine, plan for and realise a good life for themselves within the ordinary world.
