Kia ora koutou and welcome to a new year with CCI Support.

As we begin 2026, we’re stepping confidently into our refreshed ways of working—continuing to strengthen our services, increase accessibility, and ensure every member feels supported, heard, and connected. Your feedback in 2025 helped shape many of the improvements you’ll see rolling out over the coming months.

We’re also growing our team. You’ll meet our new Wellington, Nelson, and Waikato staff in upcoming newsletters, and I’m delighted to welcome Annamarie, who has joined us as our Rotorua Facilitator. Her lived experience, warmth, and passion for our community will be a wonderful addition.

This issue includes details on our new social groups launching around the country, as well as the full schedule for our 2026 Monthly Member Meetings—a programme designed to support connection, learning, and wellbeing all year long.

Thank you for being part of our community. We look forward to another year of walking alongside you.

Ngā mihi nui,

Miranda
CEO, CCI Support
