About Wanganui Enterprises
Established in 1979, Wanganui Enterprises has a proud history of supporting both the Whanganui community and people living with disabilities.
As a registered Charitable Trust, we create employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities who might otherwise face significant barriers to entering the workforce. Within our organisation, they gain life skills, learn practical tasks, engage in rehabilitation support, and receive training - all within a supportive environment that recognises their limitations while encouraging personal growth.
Our core mission is to prepare people for open employment wherever possible, or at the very least, help them take meaningful steps toward that goal.
We work with individuals aged 16 and over whose physical, intellectual, or mental health conditions limit their ability to meet the expectations and health and safety requirements of typical workplaces. Without the right support, many face reduced confidence, low self-esteem and hesitation to try again after setbacks. We aim to change that trajectory.
Our experienced supervisors offer consistent guidance, tailored training and a level of supervision well beyond what is typically available. This commitment is reflected in the quality of our team, our products, and our workplace culture.
For over 40 years, we’ve remained dedicated to producing high-quality products using premium timber and steel. When you order from Wanganui Enterprises, you’re not just receiving something made to the highest standards - you’re also helping us maintain a safe and supportive workplace for those who face challenges in traditional employment settings.
Thank you for being part of what makes our work possible.
