GIAG (Give it a Go)
Above are "Anna Grimaldi, Holly Robinson and Sir Jerry Mateparae"
This a youth based programme for young people aged 16-30 that brings together people suffering from limb loss from all over NZ and runs alongside the annual conference of the Amputees Federation of NZ in March/April every year. This event has been described by previous participants as, eye opening, life changing, fun, exhilarating and a chance to connect with some fantastic young people where new friendships are made and old acquaintances renewed.
Funding is available to those interested and we would encourage you to seriously consider putting your name forward to be part of this wonderful event. Membership to your local amputee society is a pre-requisite and those attending only have to pay for their meals, all other costs are covered.
