We are gutted to learn that StarJam, a charity for children with disabilities, has closed due to “rising operational expenses and limited funding options.”

StarJam has filled an essential role providing creative workshops, social outlets and creative opportunities for young people living with disabilities. It has been a place where friendships were made and talents explored.

Over the years Attitude has been proud to partner with Starjam through the Attitude Awards. When you are part of this community, or raise a child who lives with a disability - you truly appreciate how vital organisations like Starjam are.

Currently a number of disability charities are facing headwinds and financial difficulties - we ask that if you are in the position to, you support these organisations.

Lastly, a huge thank you to all those who have been a part of the StarJam family and wider community; the work and impact you have made is enormous

Attitude has produced content around disability for more than 20 years. We like to applaud businesses that recognise their ability to make a difference.

Our new series Four Go Flatting (screening on TVNZ+) gives four young adult men with intellectual impairments an opportunity to experience flatting. Many families with adult men and women struggle to know how to create the independent life their sons and daughters crave. There are families in New Zealand who have moved out of their homes… to create a flatting scenario. Others have faced on-going discrimination when trying to secure a rental property.

Attitude acknowledges the team at Barfoot & Thompson for unreservedly supporting Attitude’s quest to support four young men to find a house where they could live independently for a period of 6 weeks.

Barfoot & Thompson championed the concept to the landlord, and we know that following on from this experience they will continue to champion the rights of people who live with disabilities, doing what they can, not just for these four men, but respecting and supporting others in the communities in which they operate.

When more businesses play a small part, lasting social change will come about

Episode two of Four Go Flatting is live TONIGHT 7:30pm on TVNZ1 and will be available to watch on TVNZ+.

09/09/2024

Four Go Flatting is officially LIVE! Tune in to TVNZ1 from 7:30 or head to TVNZ+ to watch on demand.
Massive thank you to the team at Barfoot and Thompson for supporting the boys in the flat.
