Evaro

Evaro (formally Wellington Aftercare Association) supports Wellingtonians living with intellectual disabilities.

In its 90-year history it has undergone a number of changes as far as service delivery and design but at its heart has always undertaken to support individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families in what would be considered “best practice” for its time.

Our focus is to equip people with disabilities with the tools to participate in all aspects of our community by supporting their choices of where they live, learn work and socialise.

We improve lives

We help our members to:

Gain confidence
Feel more empowered and enabled
