The Downlights Charitable Trust is dedicated to creating meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities, ensuring they thrive in roles tailored to their strengths and goals. Many of our Downlights Crew faced limited career prospects before joining us, and it’s our mission to provide a supportive, inclusive environment where each person can be proud of their work. Our team members receive individually tailored support and specialized workstations designed to meet their unique needs, fostering a workplace where everyone can flourish.

Since its establishment in 2019, The Downlights Charitable Trust has championed diversity, equity and inclusivity in the workplace by providing essential resources, such as trained carer supervision and specialist equipment, to help break down barriers to employment. By supporting the trust, you are directly contributing to these efforts and helping us advocate for disability inclusion across New Zealand through public speaking engagements and community outreach.

The Downlights Charitable Trust is a registered charity (Charity Commission Registration Number CC57362), committed to enhancing the lives of our team members and advancing employment equity. We’re proud to collaborate with valued organizations like the NZ Down Syndrome Association, Recreate NZ, and The Living Wage Movement, whose support helps us make a difference in the lives of our Downlights Crew every day.
