At Res.Awesome we are all about showing appreciation for like-minded people in the community, those who are doing their best to tackle Dunedin’s waste flow. The humans at Connections Centre are doing valiant work and we want to use our platform to showcase their amazing community project. Connections Centre is a community-based support centre for people with increased needs due to intellectual and/or physical disabilities. Their kaupapa is to facilitate meaningful and active participation in community life with a holistic and collaborative approach. The folk here work to ensure the most vulnerable members of our community have access to all the resources they need to express themselves creatively. They offer excellent resources, well-qualified staff and a warm welcoming environment.

The Living Wage rate is voluntary and is paid by employers who want to make sure their workers get enough money to live with dignity.

Res.Awesome is proud to share the news that we are a living wage accredited business! The living wage concept is simply a common sense approach to looking out for our people. We believe that everyone should have access to adequate resources to keep their whānau safe and happy. Food, transportation, housing, childcare, clothing and healthcare are the basic things our wages should easily cover. Sadly a large chunk of the New Zealand population has been trying their best to survive on an inadequate rate of pay.
