New Dawn Partnership Inc is a community-centred organisation dedicated to providing a high quality community participation day programme for both youth and adults with complex needs. Our approach is built on fostering a nurturing environment where every individual is respected, empowered, and supported to thrive.

Founded in 1994 by a group of dedicated parents, New Dawn Partnership was established to provide exceptional day care and educational opportunities for individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities transitioning from the school environment. Starting with just three participants led by a passionate volunteer in a repurposed classroom at Wairau Valley Special School, New Dawn has experienced significant growth over the years. Today, we proudly operate from the beautiful grounds of Sylvan Park in Milford, continuing our mission to empower and support every individual in our community.

Situated on the beautiful grounds of Sylvan Park in Milford, New Dawn is easily accessible for families and participants alike. Its welcoming environment is designed to make every visit a positive experience.
