Good people doing great things for their community through sport 🧡 Our team recently visited Ignite Sport HQ to hear about the inspiring impact they're having on our communities.

We heard about a range of programmes that have been supported through Tū Manawa funding over recent years. Through sport and recreation, these programmes help rangatahi build confidence, dream big and reach their potential. And of course, no visit would be complete without getting involved ourselves. We joined the team to try out a few new sports and experience a little bit of their mahi in action.

A huge thank you to the Ignite Sport whānau for your warm welcome and great vibes. You are an inspiring and passionate group doing incredible mahi for rangatahi and communities!

Nights in the Ngahere is our vision for a more accessible outdoors. A kaupapa shaped by lived experience and driven by the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to connect with nature 🌿

Hear from some of the people whose personal experiences speak to why this kaupapa matters so deeply.

Youth voice looks different in every community, and that's okay. We want to hear how tamariki and rangatahi have been involved in shaping your kaupapa, in whatever way works best for them.

Hear from Hanna, our Funding Lead, on some ways to incorporate youth voice in your Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa funding applications.

Today is ICCE (International Council for Coaching Excellence) Global Coaches Day!

Ngā mihi nui to all the coaches and to everyone across the sector who supports quality sport experiences for tamariki, rangatahi and adults in Wellington and beyond.

ICCE Global Coaches Day also reminds us of the exciting milestone ahead in November 2027, when Aotearoa will host the ICCE Global Coach Conference right here in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, bringing coaches, researchers and sport leaders from around the world together to share ideas and learn from one another.

We look forward to sharing more on this when we can.

Check out this video from Coach For Life Foundation NZ of a few familiar Kiwis sharing the impact a sports coach has had on their life.

They're not looking at their watches; they're trying to write their name with a pen in the crook of their elbows! Just one of the activities that the participants at today's Diversity and Inclusion Wānanga are doing today. This activity gives people appreciation of the struggles that some in our community face, but also makes the point that there's no one right way to do anything - we're all different.

This is our second Diversity and Inclusion Wānanga for the year - if it looks like something you might be interested in, keep an eye out on our Events page for the next one.
