The award was for a series of 30-minute programmes running each week from March to September last year. The KiwiAble Show returns to Christchurch airwaves on Plains FM later this year.

KiwiAble co-ordinator Trisha Ventom, of Christchurch City Council Leisure, says the programme is committed to enabling people with disabilities to take part in and enjoy activities of their choice, along with other members of the community.

“People from many different groups were involved in this programme and the award can be attributed to the hard work of those involved,” she says.
