DISABLED TAMARIKI & RANGATAHI
Disabled tamariki and rangatahi are a priority group, as they often face barriers and miss out on opportunities to participate. In partnership with Halberg, Sport Tasman’s Disability Advisor works across communities and organisations to advocate for inclusive programme design, build sector capability informed by lived experience, and ensure all individuals can be active in ways that matter to them.
Our aim is to achieve equity in physical activity by ensuring disabled tamariki and rangatahi have access to meaningful opportunities, with inclusive practice embedded across play, active recreation, and sport. To strengthen this commitment, we deliver inclusion trainings and build sector capability, ensuring organisations are equipped to design and deliver experiences that are genuinely inclusive and informed by lived experience.
