Disability Magazines & Newsletters

Ongoing publications are a great way to stay up to date with all the latest information and support ideas.

Many NZ charities produce their own newsletters during the year, and joining a mailing list to receive these by email or post is easy. There are also resource catalogues and libraries you can subscribe to, a magazine for Carers, and government updates. I have listed these all below.

Internationally there are some wonderful titles also, but many do not offer post to overseas countries. It may be possible to pre-arrange/pre-pay for this or to view them online as PDFs.

If you know of any more great titles and resources, please send them to kate@hopeworks.org.nz and I can add them to this database. 

If your organisation produces any titles, please email them through (or contact me for mailing details) and I will gladly have a look, and add if appropriate.
