If you’re a blind, deafblind, lowvision or vision-impaired woman, or you identify as feminine, you’re invited to join our online hui from 5pm to 6pm on Thursday, 12 February 2026. This is a welcoming space, open to both members and non-members of Blind Citizens NZ. This hui builds on the initiative and momentum from our AGM and Conference in October. With Network Coordinator Judy Small, participants will decide on a name for the Network, identify key focus areas, and agree on any additional membership criteria. Once there is agreement, decisions will be shared with the Blind Citizens NZ Board to enable the Network to be formally established.

If you meet the criteria mentioned above, you’re warmly invited to register using any of the options provided. If you’re interested but can’t make it on the day, we still want to hear from you.
