Mana: a source of both personal and collective strength, pride and identity

Charity Number 1211147


ABOUT US

We aim to empower individuals with disabilities, impairments or long-term health conditions and their caregivers to enhance their quality of life through tailored support, resources and opportunities.
Mana is a word rooted in Polynesian and Māori traditions with layers of meaning. It symbolises authority, respect, strength and dignity. For us, Mana embodies both personal and collective strength - both essential for creating lasting change.
Our charity was born from deeply personal experiences and a shared commitment to making a meaningful difference. We believe no one should face barriers to living a fulfilling life, whatever that may look like for them. Our vision is a world where everyone can live with dignity, respect and purpose.
We envision a world where disabled people have equal access to resources, opportunities and support.
We aim to challenge societal perceptions and advocate for lasting improvements in accessibility, inclusion and equity.
