<strong>Annual</strong> report<br />

With this year now complete<br />

we turn our attention to<br />

<strong>2016</strong>/2017. Fronted with<br />

more challenges it is clearly<br />

evident that the following<br />

trends are affecting our<br />

communities: a growing,<br />

diverse population; a housing<br />

shortage and co-related<br />

squeeze on spaces and<br />

places; limited resources to<br />

address genuine barriers to<br />

participation; rising obesity<br />

issues; and large pockets of<br />

inactive communities.<br />

MESSAGE<br />

from our Chair and CEO<br />

“Having Sport<br />

Auckland provide<br />

schools with support<br />

and physical activity<br />

before and after<br />

school is a key<br />

component that is<br />

required for this area”<br />

Sanjay Ramay<br />

Associate Principal<br />

Ponsonby School<br />

It is with great pleasure that we present the 24th annual report of Sport Auckland to<br />

our stakeholders. Throughout this report is a record of the work we have done .<br />

This year’s result has been a pleasing one for us through a year that has seen continual<br />

change rapidly unravel. While change is constant we realise that authentic success<br />

will be achieved through building, fostering, and nurturing strong collaborative<br />

partnerships. When such relationships are cemented it is easier to achieve high<br />

trust/high impact outcomes, mutual to all parties and beneficial to stakeholders<br />

and communities. To that end we have been indebted to our key funders for all their<br />

support, in particular:<br />

• Aktive - Auckland Sport and Recreation • NZ Community Trust<br />

• Auckland District Health Board<br />

• Lion Foundation<br />

• Counties Manukau District Health Board<br />

• Foundation North<br />

• Auckland Council<br />

4 <strong>Annual</strong> report


We have also been very fortunate to have had strong<br />

commercial arrangements with Holden and 2degrees<br />

that has been very beneficial for us.<br />

OVERSEEING OUR OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE<br />

IS OUR BOARD WHO HAVE SHOWN STRONG<br />

LEADERSHIP throughout the year and who have<br />

demonstrated full engagement to be “on our business”.<br />

Our board epitomises a strong healthy boardroom<br />

culture, based on good practice where active listening<br />

is clearly evident and there is an openness to change.<br />

The relationship between the Sport Auckland board<br />

and the Aktive board is very strong and both parties<br />

are committed to the changes that lie ahead for our<br />

respective organisations.<br />

OUR STAFF HAVE PERFORMED OUTSTANDINGLY<br />

WELL THIS YEAR. They have managed our stakeholder<br />

relationships with the utmost of professionalism<br />

enhancing the Sport Auckland brand and adding value<br />

to that high trust attribute we strive to achieve with our<br />

stakeholders.<br />

THE RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE OF OUR MAJOR<br />

FUNDERS, AKTIVE, IS GOING FROM STRENGTH TO<br />

STRENGTH. Their funding has allowed us to penetrate<br />

further into our community work which has seen us<br />

increase participation in sport and physical activity<br />

in the Young People space. It has also allowed us to<br />

work in more depth on club capability build with our<br />

clubs and communities so that these organisations can<br />

deliver their own quality products and services to their<br />

respective memberships.<br />

Our other major funders are the two respective Health<br />

Boards – ADHB and CMDHB. We deliver the Green<br />

Prescription (GRx) and Active Families Health contracts<br />

on their behalf in central, east and south Auckland. This<br />

strong relationship has endured for many years now and<br />

it is pleasing to highlight that Sport Auckland achieved<br />

all of its KPIs for 2015/<strong>2016</strong>. The Ministry of Health<br />

summarised our last financial year stating, in part,<br />

“...eight providers met or exceeded all nine KPIs this<br />

time, the same as for last year and one fewer than<br />

in 2013/14... other consistently high performers are<br />

(amongst others) Sport Auckland...”<br />

We also would like to thank all the facilities that we have<br />

partnered with throughout the year whose support has<br />

enabled us to deliver our Green Prescription and Active<br />

Families programmes from within their premises.<br />

The Foundation North funding we have received over<br />

the last three years has been instrumental in helping us<br />

to achieve our goal to revitalise sporting programmes<br />

in the Tamaki, Maungakiekie and Roskill school clusters.<br />

We also focussed on increasing participation in sport,<br />

recreation, events and play. Foundation North’s support<br />

has enabled us to remove significant barriers to<br />

participation and to increase the capability of delivery<br />

within the community, including the activation of spaces<br />

and places at the primary schools and in the community.<br />

We have ensured that our delivery of programmes and<br />

services into our clusters has been participant-driven and<br />

that all activity undertaken has been stage appropriate<br />

for our target audience. We have successfully grown<br />

student leaders and increased teacher confidence in<br />

delivering Physical Education.<br />

NZ Community Trust’s funding has allowed us to have a<br />

strong presence in the inner city school clusters. This has<br />

allowed us to create meaningful relationships with 16<br />

new partner schools, giving opportunities and new skills<br />

to over 6,000 students. As a direct impact of our work,<br />

students in this cluster can articulate their own stories<br />

around the benefits of physical activity and healthy<br />

living.<br />

Our cluster model adopts an approach where the<br />

schools we partner with agree to be the axis for sports<br />

clubs, programmes and network providers to engage<br />

with their student, staff and parent communities.<br />

“A great service, would have loved to have<br />

been involved sooner, wonderful staff and<br />

follow-up.” – Green Prescription graduate<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> report<br />

The use of a Community Sport Coordinator (CSC) in each of the clusters has helped cement a whole-community approach to<br />

long-term sustainable impact. The CSC is able to connect the various community organisations so that they work collaboratively<br />

to increase young people’s participation through schools, clubs and other various pathways. We thank all our partner schools<br />

within these clusters, in particular the Principals and key staff at each respective school who have fully embraced the work we<br />

do, help fund the model and trust us to deliver quality products and services that meet their individual needs.<br />

Our Sport Capability Build team continues to focus on helping community clubs with their capability and capacity issues.<br />

Using various strategies and sets of tools, including our Cloud based “Develop Your Legacy Tool” (www.developyourlegacy.<br />

co.nz) we have assisted over 30 separate organisations with a plethora of courses, workshops, strategies, and advice. We are<br />

indebted to the funding from Aktive and Auckland Council to enable us to carry out our work in this area.<br />

Our advocacy and influencing roles continue to play a key role in the sector where we have helped organisations unlock<br />

financial resources from decision makers for specific projects. We cite the work done with the Grey Lynn Pump Track Association<br />

as being one particular example of success with close to $100,000 being raised for their project.<br />

Our staff continue to hold governance roles with Auckland Badminton Association and Auckland Softball Charitable<br />

Foundation Trust. These placements are beneficial to all parties in the form of professional development for our staff, the<br />

ability to implement theory into practice and the assurance that up-to-date good practice is being implemented within these<br />

organisations.<br />

Our relationships with our nine tenants who reside in Sport Auckland House is also a huge strength of our set-up. Out of<br />

this arrangement we were able to work closely with Auckland Softball on the development of their new strategic plan, and<br />

a large amount of assistance was given to them around their pathwys and coaching succession plans. Lion Foundation has<br />

supported us with the Sport Auckland House leasing cost which has been sincerely appreciated. Their support has allowed<br />

us to assist our tenants with lesser administrative costs and has allowed us to open up our facilities for use, free of charge, to<br />

other sports codes. Organisations such as RSTs, Aktive, High Performance Sport NZ, Sport NZ, Gymsports NZ, NZ Archery, NZ<br />

Waterpolo, Athletics NZ, Netball Northern, Auckland Curling, Auckland Rowing, Auckland Rugby, Auckland Baseball, Auckland<br />

Weightlifting and AROCA have all benefited from regular use of this service.<br />

Our partnerships with our Local Boards in our region also continue to go from strength to strength. In particular we wish<br />

to record our thanks to the Chairs and members of Maungakiekie-Tamaki, Puketapapa, Albert-Eden, Waitemata, Orakei and<br />

Waiheke Island for the strong working relationship we have formed with them. Several of these boards asked us to deliver<br />

community wide workshops and forums around Sponsorship and Health and Safety, which saw an aggregate attendance of<br />

120 participants community-wide.<br />

With this year now complete we turn our attention to <strong>2016</strong>/2017. Fronted with more challenges it is clearly evident that the<br />

following trends are affecting our communities: a growing, diverse population; a housing shortage and co-related squeeze on<br />

spaces and places; limited resources to address genuine barriers to participation; rising obesity issues; and large pockets of<br />

inactive communities. Critical thinking around solutions to address these concerns needs to occur. Part of this critical thinking<br />

calls for visionary leadership and the assembling of strong collaborative partnerships more so than ever before. Our Board<br />

and staff believe Sport Auckland is well positioned to play a major role in this process, delivering on identified solutions. We<br />

remain, as always, totally committed to working with our local communities to continue to increase participation in physical<br />

activity and to continue to focus on inspiring “Our Communities to Live Healthy and Active Lifestyles”. We look forward to the<br />

challenges <strong>2016</strong>/2017 may bring to us all.<br />

“Tennis Northern thanks you for Sport Auckland’s contribution,<br />

very useful indeed and if clubs take on board this clearly structured<br />

approach to the ‘business’ of sponsorship in and around their clubs<br />

I would anticipate success stories (and some great case studies). I<br />

am very supportive of an Auckland-wide approach to all we do,<br />

including our valued RSTs”.<br />

David Frank, CEO Tennis Northern<br />

“I of course also want to re-iterate my thanks for the part Sport<br />

Auckland played in the recent club forums. We have regularly<br />

discussed the importance of broader, strategic relationships<br />

with the RST’s and this work was an excellent example. We are<br />

regularly talking to our clubs about tapping in to the expertise<br />

in their local RST’s and these forums were an excellent example<br />

for them to see”.<br />

MESSAGE<br />

from AKTIVE<br />

WE ARE ON A DRIVE WITH OUR PARTNERS TO MAKE AUCKLAND<br />

THE WORLD’S MOST ACTIVE CITY.<br />

Aktive has limited resources, in a city that is now home to one third of New<br />

Zealand’s population. We therefore depend upon strong partnerships<br />

with organisations that understand the value of collaboration with us,<br />

who align their strategic approach with ours, streamline their focus on<br />

young people and sport capability building, and who collaborate further<br />

and reach out to target the right schools, clubs and other community<br />

groups to achieve their work. Aktive’s partnership with Sport Auckland<br />

helps to support its work in these settings, and directly contributes<br />

to improved levels of activity with the attendant health benefits.<br />

This year has seen Sport Auckland make further strides in revitalising<br />

sporting programmes in some of Auckland’s most deprived areas -<br />

Tamaki, Maungakiekie, Roskill and the inner city - by giving sustainable<br />

opportunities to young people. As well, their work on an innovative<br />

cloud-based “Develop Your Legacy” planning tool for clubs has been of<br />

immense benefit to volunteers right across Auckland, and was rewarded<br />

with a specific Community Sport Innovation grant from Aktive during<br />

the year, to ensure it could be further developed for the benefit of the<br />

sector.<br />

Sport Auckland has always modelled a positive culture of advocacy,<br />

assisting others to unlock the resources that they need to fulfil their<br />

vision for projects. One example is the Grey Lynn Pump Track Association,<br />

who have benefited from working closely with CEO Mike Elliott and his<br />

team, and who have now raised close to $100,000 towards their project.<br />

Aktive would like to thank and congratulate Mike Elliott and his Chair<br />

Andrew Williams for the leading contribution they are making to a<br />

more dynamic community sport system in Auckland, including their<br />

role in planning “The Auckland Approach to Community Sport”. We are<br />

committed to continuing to support Sport Auckland in its efforts to<br />

help its communities to live healthy and active lifestyles, and equally<br />

committed to the shared values and objectives that will guide our<br />

partnership over the next 3 years.<br />

YOUNG<br />

people<br />

DURING THE YEAR SPORT AUCKLAND PILOTED A<br />

COMMUNITY LED SPORTS MODEL IN THE TAMAKI<br />

AREA.<br />

Through partnering and collaborating with key<br />

organisations (Tamaki College, Tamaki Primary schools<br />

cluster, Tamaki Recreation Centre, Auckland Basketball<br />

Services Ltd (ABSL), Tamaki Regeneration Company<br />

(TRC), the kids and parents) Sport Auckland identified<br />

the participants’ needs and developed a community<br />

strategy.<br />

Our insights and intel highlighted the need for the<br />

children in the community (primary and secondary<br />

school) to play basketball, a sport that had no presence<br />

in the area. Sport Auckland partnered with TRC and<br />

learnt that one of the regeneration projects in this<br />

community was to bring youth off the streets and<br />

connect them socially through “sport”.<br />

Sport Auckland’s Regional Sports Director (RSD) linked<br />

Tamaki College with the primary schools to create<br />

a primary school basketball league administered,<br />

coached and officiated by secondary school students.<br />

The secondary school students were upskilled through<br />

the Growing Coaches Programme and refereeing<br />

courses with ABSL. The RSD and TRC linked our Sport<br />

Capability team with parents and the Tamaki Recreation<br />

Centre to form a new club (Tamaki Tornados).<br />

The project attracted media attention and its outcomes<br />

were published in the local community paper. The<br />

project has addressed many Sport NZ outcomes<br />

including being participant led and increasing<br />

participation in the low socio-economic and targeted<br />

populations.<br />

FUEL4PLAY<br />

SPORT AUCKLAND PILOTED A MOVEMENT AND NUTRITION<br />

PROGRAMME FOR PRESCHOOLERS.<br />

Fuel4Play is a free movement and nutrition programme for families with children aged 3 and<br />

4. We have a holistic approach which covers food we eat, to how we move and getting ready<br />

for school.<br />

Fuel4Play aims to make healthy eating simple and enjoyable. Nutrition information is<br />

delivered through an interactive afternoon tea so children get to prepare and try different<br />

foods.<br />

The sessions then follow on with fun activities - session topics include school readiness,<br />

sleep, fussy eating, games and snack time.<br />

Fuel4Play goals:<br />

• more active play to improve gross and fine motor skills<br />

• less screen time<br />

• less processed food and takeaways - fruit and vegetables every day<br />

• less sugary drinks, more water<br />

• increased confidence in children and families to be active and healthy<br />

in light of the recent changes to the Health and Safety at<br />

Work Act 2015 we have delivered four workshops across<br />

various Local Boards to help upskill community clubs on<br />

the new legislation. This saw the total attendees amass<br />

one hundred which represented more than 60 clubs.<br />

Sport Auckland has assisted and funded the development<br />

of Auckland Softball’s new three year strategic plan.<br />

The number of club capability workshops that were held<br />

help to identify sports clubs who have readily welcomed<br />

the support of Sport Auckland in developing their<br />

operations of strategic planning, governance, funding<br />

and other club capability development strategies. Sport<br />

Auckland staff continues to work with these identified<br />

clubs to ensure their futures remain sustainable.<br />

Our online club development tool “Develop Your Legacy”<br />

has completed the pilot phase resulting in 20 clubs being<br />

introduced to the interactive knowledge library. Aktive<br />

Auckland Sport and Recreation have endorsed our<br />

Develop Your Legacy capability tool and we are seeing<br />

strong support from Council, clubs and NSO’s. There are<br />

currently 50+ active users from all areas of New Zealand.<br />

We have continued to work towards increasing in the<br />

number (and quality) of volunteers, especially coaches<br />

through delivery of tailored courses and workshops<br />

predominantly targeting community clubs and coaches<br />

at grassroots.<br />

<strong>2016</strong> saw year one of the ‘Coach Evolve’ programme.<br />

School in their second year of the programme as well as<br />

supporting Auckland Grammar School and Glendowie<br />

College in their first year on the programme.<br />

We continue to maintain close relationships with our<br />

seven local boards. This relationship provides close links<br />

to the sports clubs and the provision of facilities from<br />

Auckland Council to ensure all Aucklanders have access<br />

to the sports offered.<br />

We have continued to strengthen our partnership with<br />

GREEN<br />

prescription<br />

In February this year Edward Grant from Onehunga weighed 105kg.<br />

He had to lose weight and improve his health, but he needed more<br />

lifestyle support. His diet was making him sluggish, he struggled<br />

to walk without feeling out of breath and he was on medication to<br />

help him sleep.<br />

When he went to his nurse to get his blood pressure checked, he was<br />

diagnosed with hypertension. Edward also had gout which would<br />

flare up and make some joints very sore. Instead of prescribing pills<br />

and leaving Edward with the advice to eat better, exercise more, and<br />

lose weight, his nurse wrote him a Green Prescription (GRx).<br />

Starting with a consultation with Sophie (one of Sport Auckland’s<br />

GRx Healthy Lifestyle Advisors), Edward set his health and fitness<br />

goals, and began using his local gym and water walking. He started<br />

doing cardio workouts 5-6 days a week. He attended weekly GRx<br />

workshops, where he learnt how to read food labels, how to eat<br />

healthy on a small budget and about healthy portion sizes. Edward<br />

reckons this last one made the biggest difference for him. Prior to<br />

the workshops, he would regularly eat large ‘man size’ meals.<br />

Over four months, Edward lost 14kgs (2 belt notches), stopped<br />

taking sleep medication and has increased energy. Edward used to<br />

visit his work café most days but no longer goes there at all – he now<br />

prepares his own lunches and does not add sugar to his hot drinks.<br />

Edward says that “making small changes and consistency is the key.”<br />

His family and work colleagues have all noticed the difference in his<br />

size and his energy levels – some colleagues even thought he was<br />

sick because he had lost so much body fat.<br />

Edward is now using his knowledge to improve the health of his<br />

family – leading by example - he still keeps active with a stationary<br />

bike at home and accumulates activity during his working day.<br />

Edward says Sophie and Sport Auckland have changed his life!<br />

ACTIVE FAMILIES<br />

Sport Auckland began delivering<br />

an Active Families programme in<br />

October 2015.<br />

It has delivered out of two sites within<br />

ADHB, Glen Innes and Mt Roskill.<br />

Once a week families come along<br />

to an interactive session where they<br />

set goals, learn about nutrition and<br />

physical activity plus get active<br />

together. We have had a number of<br />

different activity providers come in<br />

to take them for fun physical activity<br />

sessions in both traditional & nontraditional<br />

sports they may not have<br />

tried before.<br />

There was a great collaboration<br />

between the Massey University<br />

School of Dietetics and Sport<br />

Auckland. Masters Dietetic students<br />

came out on placement to our Mt<br />

Roskill programme and ran a series<br />

of workshops for families. This was<br />

hugely beneficial for the students to<br />

work in a real life setting delivering &<br />

also very beneficial for the families &<br />

Active Families team.<br />

87 children & their families were<br />

engaged in Active Families over the<br />

2015-16 financial year.<br />

Families across New Zealand are being encouraged to<br />

swap doctors’ prescriptions for a new concept known as<br />

the “green prescription”.<br />

The Minister of Health Jonathan Coleman says 87 percent<br />

of families say there have been positive changes for their<br />

child as a result of the programme.<br />

It involves cooking lessons, and fitness classes as ways of<br />

tackling childhood obesity.<br />

The Falala family are one of 1000 families taking part in<br />

the programme, and after two months, they are seeing<br />

results.<br />

With three children aged 5, 9 and 15 Iunisi and Lisiate<br />

Falala used to opt for cheap, easy and often unhealthy<br />

food, but now they’ve ditched the takeaways in favour of<br />

experiencing new food together.<br />

“They may be more active, have a more positive attitude<br />

to life, they’re enjoying school more, and are more<br />

positive about the types of food they should be eating<br />

and the activity they should be doing,” he says.<br />

It’s hoped that as more people are referred to the<br />

programme, the attitudes of families will change to a<br />

long-term healthier lifestyle.<br />
