We are a Regional Sports Trust based within and operating across five geographic regions at the Top of the South Island. Our aspiration is that everyone in our regions has equitable access to high quality physical activity opportunities and experiences that meet their needs. However, there are those within our communities who face greater barriers than others to being active. Therefore, in order to achieve our aspiration, we must first focus on those who face the greatest inequity. This requires an insights driven focus, to address and overcome barriers that prevent physical activity being accessible and normalised in some of our communities.
Our approach is a focus on sector leadership and sector capability, working directly with partners to advocate for and influence, rather than deliver. This requires a need to build deep relationships with partners and will look different with each sector partner, be they Iwi, Council, Sport or Active Recreation Organisation, School, Funder, Health Agency, Facility Provider, Disability Organisation or Community Body.
Insights and data gathering will understand the needs of communities to guide our advocacy and support directly to those who provide physical activity opportunities through Sport, Active Recreation and Play.
We will focus our resources in areas where there is the greatest need but also the greatest opportunity to drive and derive impact. By focusing our resource in this way, we believe it will provide the best chance to establish meaningful and sustainable change progressing incrementally towards
“Everyone Active.” Ko tō tātou ake tikanga. The future is ours to create.
